Global efforts toward sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production are advancing through distinct regional initiatives in Australia and Senegal.

In North Queensland, Australia, Carbon Neutral Fuels and Energy Estate signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a SAF project. The collaboration focuses on using sugarcane agricultural waste as feedstock and aims to support Australia’s fuel security and upcoming mandate targets.

In Senegal, a feasibility study supported by the European Union and the International Civil Aviation Organization identified several local raw materials for SAF production, including sugarcane molasses, typha, cashew apple, neem, and jatropha. The National Civil Aviation and Meteorology Agency intends to use these findings to establish a national industry and regulatory framework as part of a broader goal to reach 40% renewable energy by 2030.
