New programs are no longer theoretical - BETA's ALIA program has clocked up over 100,000 nms and is performing market survey demonstrations around the world. Hear a focused program update from BETA Technologies as ALIA moves towards certification.

• Programme status
• Market Survey Demonstrations - facts and figures, results to date

• Is the SAF market broken? What is being done to reduce its price and counter price gouging by some suppliers? What isn’t working?

• Feedstock: is there likely to be enough to meet capacity? Does aviation need to vigilant about the rise crop-based fuels in other regions?
• Should HEFA and 2nd-gen SAF be skipped entirely?
• Will there be enough clean energy to produce the volume of eSAF required by mandates?

• Should all investment and regulatory efforts be channelled towards zero emission technologies  and other levers?

Institutional investors are stepping into uncharted territory - where climate impact meets early-stage innovation.

This session explores how and why institutional investors are deploying capital into SAF projects - and what else they need to feel comfortable. Are there parallels between SAF projects and early stage renewables that were once considered riskier investments?

• What are they working on today? What aircraft and engines could come to market in the next 10 years?
