  • SAF Specials

    HI Guys great podcast . I’m particularly interested in SAF specials as I am a producer. I’m looking to produce in SAF via the Alcohol to Jet pathway in Africa. Producing Ethanol and then SAF in Africa not only will have the emissions reductions but also huge social impact on the continent , yet there is very attention being on what could be a huge production zone for sustainable SAF and also marine fuels . Keep up the great work.

  • Great content

    Great topics. I like when you over the basics, sometimes it’s hard to follow when you jump right in to blending ratios, regulations, etc.
