Podcast: Blue-Sky Thinking: Is sustainable aviation fuel the key to decarbonizing business travel?
June 2024 - Episode #030
The production and adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is gaining critical momentum. As demand for air travel increases worldwide, corporate travel customers must play a leading role in the race to decarbonize aviation. But, it's no mean feat for travel managers looking to balance cost and sustainability, while staying clued-in to developments,
CWT's Global Head of ESG Richard Thompson talks to Dan Kreibich, Founder and Chief Product Officer of climate tech company Squake, and Susanne Bouma, Head of Partnerships & Programs (aviation) at SAF-producer Neste, responsible for accelerating emission reductions through partnerships to increase SAF uptake. Together they unpack the mandates, cost, challenges, opportunities and future of SAF and other carbon removal offerings, for corporate travel customers.
Find out:
- How the 'book-and-claim' method works and why there's scepticism about the effectiveness of carbon offsetting.
- What risks and opportunities do global SAF mandates present?
- The premiums corporates can expect to pay for SAF, and the value it brings.
- The perils of 'double-claiming'
- How to incorporate SAF and other solutions to your sustainable travel strategy.
