Reliable sources, efficient capture, suitable infrastructure and clear regulatory guidelines are needed to make CO₂ an industrially usable resource for the production of synthetic kerosene. This specialist event on February 24, 2026 will focus on how the CO₂ value chain and framework conditions must be designed.

Along the entire value chain, experts will provide an overview of how CO₂ can be provided, transported, processed and ultimately used for the production of e-kerosene. The focus will be on key technological and regulatory challenges as well as current findings from practice, including results from the Carbon4PtL project.

Together with experts from politics, administration, industry and research, we will discuss the requirements necessary to establish a sustainable CO₂ value chain. The event is organized by the Carbon4PtL project in cooperation with InnoFuels. We look forward to seeing you there!

The report analyzes the obstacles and challenges that are currently slowing down the market ramp-up of SAF in the aviation sector in Germany. These obstacles were identified in two stakeholder workshops in September 2023 and February 2024 and supplemented by literature research and expert interviews. The aim is to focus on the highest-priority obstacles when developing solutions in order to effectively drive forward the market ramp-up of SAF. Click here for the report.

The workshop took place on June 19, 2024, in Karlsruhe. At the event, which was open to all interested parties, existing and new approaches were analyzed and further developed. From the perspective of the individual groups, the following solutions should be pursued most urgently in order to overcome existing barriers to ramp-up, such as low production capacities, lack of investment, and insufficient planning reliability: 

• an official guide for committed companies and potential investors
• Mobilization of research to accelerate technology upscaling and approval processes
• Development of a financing system that also secures refinancing
• Incentives for the use of SAF
• A distance-based, earmarked levy to finance long-term public tenders
• Grandfathering measures for initial installations over a longer period of time ("grandfathering")
• Homogenization of sustainability, CO₂ and electricity procurement criteria

Our workshop clearly showed that investment security and reliable long-term regulatory requirements are crucial to the successful ramp-up of SAF.
