Workpackage 4


Best practices and concepts

The overall objective of this work package is to develop future best practices and concepts along the entire value chain for the three technological pathways selected in the project, i.e. Bio-oils to SAF, Isobutanol to SAF, and Syngas to SAF pathways.

Such best practices and concepts rely on results, know-how, experiences and lessons learned from two type of sources. On the one hand, this work builds on in-house intelligence developed within the project and on the other hand, on external knowledge sharing from European and international renowned key industrial stakeholders and R&I experts. Ultimately, a set of guidelines are proposed to accelerate the scaling up of the three aforementioned value chains, hence contributing to cost-effective and more sustainable large-scale production of SAF.

Further, strong synergies are created between the private industry and the scientific community by providing further guidance for SAF certification and coordinating the engagement with oil industries, airports and end-users, and by fostering international knowledge transfer to establish long-lasting interactions on the upscaling of SAF. Specific focus is placed on the development of SAF in Africa, as a strategic energy partner for the EU.
