About this event
Today, aviation is responsible for approximately 2% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has emerged as the primary means of emissions abatement for the aviation industry, but significant barriers to widespread adoption remain. Despite the challenges, the urgency to bring SAF to scale continues to grow as airlines and corporations look to reduce their scope 1 and scope 3 emissions associated with air travel.
In this webcast, Dr. Julio Friedmann, a globally respected expert in decarbonization and carbon management, and Dr. John Dees, author of the recently published Sustainable Aviation Fuels Primer, provide a comprehensive overview of the state of SAF today. The discussion will cover:
- The SAF landscape today, including the full range of fuel types, carbon intensities, sustainability criteria, and costs.
- How book-and-claim models spread the emissions reductions benefits and costs of SAF across scope 1 and scope 3 emitters to accelerate commercial development and scale.
- How organizations like the GHG protocol and SBTi view SAF and its implications for both airlines and corporations.
- What are key issues regarding sustainability, carbon, equity, and ability yo bring solutions to market.
For aviation procurement leaders, corporate sustainability leaders, and others interested in better understanding pathways to scale, join us for expert guidance on the future of SAF.

Julio Friedmann Chief Scientist @ Carbon DirectG
Dr. Friedmann recently served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Fossil Energy at the Department of Energy where he was responsible for DOE’s R&D program in advanced fossil energy systems, carbon capture, and storage (CCS), CO2 utilization, and clean coal deployment. More recently, he was a Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia. He has held positions at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, including Chief Energy Technologist. Dr. Friedmann is one of the most widely known and authoritative experts in the U.S. on carbon removal (CO2 drawdown from the air and oceans), CO2 conversion and use (carbon-to-value), hydrogen, industrial decarbonization, and carbon capture and sequestration.
