A coalition of aviation industry companies in Canada—along with other stakeholders—have issued a letter to the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, seeking the provision of governmental financial incentives towards the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the country’s latest budget.

The letter noted that SAF (in its pure unblended form) can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80 percent over conventional jet-A and pointed to Canada’s inherent advantages in producing the renewable fuel. “We have varied sustainable biomass in abundance, unparalleled experience in resource development and renewable energy, and most importantly, stakeholders across the entire value chain ready to act and be leaders in this front.”
