The first ICAO Stocktaking Seminar toward the 2050 Vision for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFS2019) will provide a forum for the exchange of information related to aviation fuels. This event will be the first step towards the establishment of a quantified 2050 ICAO Vision for Sustainable Aviation Fuels.
Why Attend?
- Develop a better understanding of sustainable aviation fuel research, certification, and deployment,
- Learn about the latest policies and initiatives related to sustainable aviation fuel,
- Participate in the Stocktaking process toward the 2050 ICAO Vision,
- Build partnerships with stakeholders from throughout the industry, and
- Communicate interest in taking part in potential future sustainable aviation fuel feasibility studies.
Who will attend?

Background Information
The second ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/2), held in Mexico City, Mexico from 11-13 October 2017 endorsed the 2050 ICAO Vision for Sustainable Aviation Fuels as a living inspirational path and called on States, industry and other stakeholders to substitute a significant proportion of conventional aviation fuels with sustainable aviation fuels by 2050. The Conference noted that this path would be based on the assumptions of a progressive increased use of sustainable aviation fuel, and should be periodically reviewed through a stocktaking process to continuously assess progress on sustainable aviation fuel development and deployment.
