Sustainability is rapidly becoming a major area of interest for the entire aviation industry, with its stated goals of halving its carbon emissions by 2050. Fuel producers carry a key to those ambitions—namely in their embrace of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)—and global fuel provider Air bp is focusing on its SAF initiatives this week at the Dubai Airshow. The company will serve as a sponsor and presenter at the show’s aviation sustainability conference on November 15, with global sustainability director Andreea Moyes speaking on disruptive technologies affecting SAF development.

The topic will serve as a major theme at the Air bp stand (1328) as well. “I think the main challenge we’ve got as an industry is how do we get from the goals that have been out there in terms of [SAF] and moving from where we are today, less than one percent of our global demand, to getting to the levels that we need to get to, to meet those global targets,” said Laura Bowden, the UK-based company’s global marketing manager.
