Save the date! impact webinar “The Cost of Compliance” on Oct 27, 2025

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is often described as “too expensive.” But what really drives this perception? In our upcoming webinar, The Cost of Compliance, we will unpack the true cost elements behind SAF and explore how greater clarity can shape investor confidence, airline appetite, and financing conditions.

Moderated by Andrew Doyle (Cirium), the expert round will feature a dynamic exchange of views from across the aviation value chain. Speakers include Dana Shoukroun (Invest Through Flying), Nikhil Sachdeva (Roland Berger), Dorottya Durucsko (Wizz Air), and Gregoire Le Comte (European Commission, DG MOVE).

Topics include:

  • Breaking down the “SAF premium”: what it is, how it impacts airlines, and the degree of transparency or negotiability in supplier pricing.
  • Mechanisms to narrow the price gap – from long-term offtakes and pooling to subsidies and market incentives.
  • The role of transparency in improving bankability, financing terms, and long-term contracting.
  • How EU SAF allowances can support offtakers, including eligibility criteria and procedures for allocation and pay-out.

Join us for a deep dive into the economics of SAF and what they mean for airlines, suppliers, and financiers navigating the path to compliance. Registration opens soon!

impact webinar “Infinium’s Project Roadrunner: The Road to Securing FID” on Sep 10, 2025, at 3 pm CET

On September 10, 2025 at 3:00 PM CET, impact on sustainable aviation e.V. will host a webinar exploring “Infinium’s Project Roadrunner: The Road to Securing FID”.

Bringing together the perspectives of producer, off-taker, investor and lender, the session will offer a rare, 360-degree look at how one of the most high-profile eSAF projects progressed from early-stage concept to a bankable reality. Alastair Blanshard (ICF) will moderate the discussion featuring Ayesha Choudhury (Infinium), Rohan D’Sa (HSBC), Aaron Robinson (International Airlines Group) and James Diaz-Sokoloff (AP Ventures).

We will explore how bankability was embedded in the project from the outset, how key risks were identified and mitigated, the role of U.S. policy incentives such as 45Z, and the other enablers that strengthened the investment case. The conversation will also examine how airlines are adapting procurement strategies to long-term SAF commitments, and whether similar projects can be replicated in Europe, Australia, and Japan.

impact webinar “Heading to Net Zero: Re-routing aviation’s technology transition?”

Can commercial aviation realistically develop and adopt the new technologies crucial to achieving Net Zero by 2050? This questions was addressed during impact’s first webinar on June 12, hosted by ISTAT as one of its Learning Lab sessions.
