Airbus partners with the Philippines for SAF feasibility study

Airbus, in collaboration with the Philippine government, has launched a series of feasibility studies focusing on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in the country. This initiative was revealed during the Philippines Aviation Summit held in Manila on 3 October. The studies align with the government’s recent creation of a SAF committee tasked with developing a roadmap for SAF production and reducing carbon emissions in the aviation sector.

Airbus has committed to supporting the study by conducting a detailed analysis that will include an evaluation of the country’s macroeconomic factors. They will also assess potential feedstocks for SAF production and examine various production pathways. In addition, the study will explore the necessary support systems, financing options, and policies required for successful implementation. Airbus is expected to draft an action plan based on its findings.

According to Airbus, the results of this study will serve as a foundation for shaping policies that promote the production of SAF in the Philippines. Furthermore, it will encourage stakeholders across the aviation industry to engage in initiatives that make SAF production both viable and sustainable.

This recent announcement follows several other sustainability-focused collaborations by Airbus. Notably, in September, Airbus signed a memorandum of understanding with AirAsia to explore methods of reducing carbon emissions in Southeast Asia. This partnership aims to investigate SAF production using alternative feedstocks, further emphasising Airbus’ commitment to sustainability in the aviation industry.
