The Sustainable Aviation Fuels Institute (SAFII), a newly launched organization, aims to unite stakeholders across the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry to foster collaboration and ensure that fuel quality standards are maintained. Founded in 2024, SAFII has been conceited to serve as a central hub for leaders, technical experts, supply-chain partners, and policymakers in the sector. It is planning to hold its first educational event—“What Is SAF?”—early this year.
In addition to serving as a communications hub for innovations and resources, the organization’s mission includes providing a training resource offering webinars and events, as well as a platform for networking roundtable events to encourage greater collaboration across the SAF supply chain. SAFII membership is open to professionals and organizations involved in various development and distribution roles. These include feedstock sourcing, fuel development, storage and transportation, carbon credits, testing, refining, and distribution.
Cindy Tomei, president of SAFII, emphasized that the institute would provide industry insights and legislative awareness and work on research and technology development to ensure consistent fuel quality standards. “Currently, we are the only organization able to consistently teach ASTM standards for aviation fuel quality,” she said.
SAFII is gaining industry support with several sponsors already on board, including SAF test equipment provider Falex Corp., fuel test equipment distributor Compass Instruments, and advisory, tax, and assurance firm Baker Tilly. Stakeholders include board members Mark Denzler, president and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturers Association; Peter Probst, president of Indigenous Energy; and Meg Whitty, LanzaJet v-p of corporate affairs. Together, &nbsp;these people and companies to foster a unified approach to SAF development, fuel quality assurance, and climate action.
The institute’s first educational event will focus on introducing SAF to the broader aviation industry. “There are many contributors to the SAF industry, and our collaboration is imperative for climate action,” said SAFII chairman of the board Andrew Faville. “Our vision is for SAFII to become a resource for everyone inside and outside the community to address any issues and questions regarding SAF.”
