Supported by: Beijing Hydrogen Power General Aviation Academy

Green aviation-power brings a groundbreaking advancement in the transition of aviation industry towards sustainable and environmental-friendly air-transportation. Hydrogen or electrical propulsion leverages new energy as a fuel source, offering a number of compelling advantages that could revolutionize air travel. By emitting no greenhouse gases or pollutants, hydrogen aviation aligns with the goals of achieving net-zero emissions in the transportation sector, which enables the aviation industry significantly reduce its environmental impact while maintaining and enhancing performance and efficiency. However, challenges still remain to meet the requirements of high energy density, long-duration flight capability, versatility in aircraft types, etc. As technology advances and infrastructure expands, hydrogen-powered aviation is poised to become a cornerstone of the sustainable transportation landscape. 

Track 2: Sustainable Aviation Fuels(SAF) Forum

Organized by: Civil Aviation University of China

Co-organized by: The Second Research Institute of CAAC, the Asia SAF Association

Supported by: HK SAF Alliance, Cathy Pacific Airlines

Supported by: Beijing Hydrogen Power General Aviation Academy

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) defined as aviation fuels derived from renewable resources or wastes that have obtained both safety and sustainability certifications. With the full life cycle emission reduction up to 80% or more, SAF has emerged as a pragmatic energy solution to deep decarbonization of the aviation industry by the mid of 21st century. Given its pivotal role in the industry’s low-carbon transition, SAF has garnered widespread attention from governments and the global aviation sector alike. Nevertheless, the large-scale promotion and application of SA faces prominent constraints across three core dimensions: safety, sustainability, and economics. To address these challenges and advance industry collaboration, the ICGA 2025-SAF Forum has been organized. It will focus on SAF policy, feedstock, process, safety certification, sustainability certification, price & market and supply chain. Experts and scholars from domestic and foreign enterprises, R&D institutions, universities and government agencies will be invited to share their latest research progress and insights of the industry. The forum aims to promote the exchange of information, accelerate SAF industry chain integration, facilitate R&D progress, expedite validation and application of SAF.
