What if aviation’s fuel challenge isn’t SAF versus hydrogen? Insights from Valentin Batteiger

This insightful presentations at the IMPACT Forum explored a reality that is often overlooked:
Aviation will likely use multiple pathways, technologies and feedstocks simultaneously.

Valentin Batteiger (Bauhaus Luftfahrt) examined the opportunities and limitations of HEFA, Alcohol-to-Jet, e-fuels, advanced biofuels and hydrogen aviation, while highlighting the scale of the challenge posed by competing demand for energy, feedstocks and carbon.

One statement resonated:

The future may not only be a competition between pathways, but also a question how they can work together in a synergistic way.

Highlights below.

💬 Which SAF pathway do you believe will have the greatest long-term impact on aviation?
