SAF & Low-Carbon Fuel Projects

From strategy to execution: helping aviation, airports and low-carbon fuel ecosystems move from net-zero ambition to bankable implementation.

Market Overview

The SAF market is entering a critical growth phase, fueled by airline net-zero commitments, emerging mandates, and demand for decarbonisation solutions. Despite remaining supply-constrained, the market is forecast to grow rapidly over the next decade, with SAF still accounting for less than 1% of global jet fuel demand in 2025.

Asia-Pacific stands out as a key long-term growth region, bolstered by rising aviation demand, strong feedstock potential, industrial capacity, and developing policy frameworks — making it the highest-opportunity market globally (source).
