Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep85 Sustainable Aviation Fuel’s Supply Chain Gap with Tan Chong Yee, Flyoro
Q: What is the price gap between SAF and conventional jet fuel across regions?
The gap is roughly 3x to 5x depending on the region, with significant variation by country and feedstock availability; the gap is a major hurdle that needs policy support and scale to close.
Ep85 Sustainable Aviation Fuel’s Supply Chain Gap with Tan Chong Yee, Flyoro
Q: How does FlyORO structure partnerships or financing models to attract investment?
FlyORO focuses on commercially practical models with clear operational volumes from the start, tying deployments to immediate industry needs and reducing upfront risks through partnership structures rather than relying solely on long-term fuel price assumptions.
Ep85 Sustainable Aviation Fuel’s Supply Chain Gap with Tan Chong Yee, Flyoro
Q: What is the biggest bottleneck preventing SAF from scaling in Asia-Pacific today?
The bottleneck is a combination of technology, policy, and investment, but the dominant issue is scaling the overall ecosystem quickly—building the right infrastructure and logistics to support SAF deployment alongside production.
Ep83 Is ESG a Western Trend? Navigating Sustainability in Asia with Nana Li
Q: How do you explain the difference between ESG and impact investing in practical terms for non-specialists?
ESG focuses on managing risks and improving returns within existing investments, akin to choosing a more efficient or cleaner car. Impact investing targets measurable social or environmental outcomes, where the KPI itself is the investment return. The two can look similar but have different incentives and metrics.
Ep83 Is ESG a Western Trend? Navigating Sustainability in Asia with Nana Li
Q: Why do you think ESG is still viewed as a Western trend in some circles, and how do you talk to skeptics?
The misconception largely stems from European and US frameworks dominating early on, with political narratives that don't map cleanly onto Asian realities. It helps to emphasize practical risk management, pricing of transition risks, and concrete opportunities rather than ideology.
