Its mission is to unite stakeholders in the SAF value chain to address core challenges collaboratively.

ASAFA’s initiatives include hosting webinars, workshops, dialogues, and producing industry white papers to promote SAF in Asia. A Memorandum of Understanding with A*STAR will connect ASAFA members with research institutes for piloting SAF technologies, fostering business networking and strengthening Singapore’s aviation innovation ecosystem.

ASAFA CEO Fabrice Espinosa said: “We are placing Asia at the heart of our efforts by driving policies that resolve market inefficiencies, attract investments, and establish SAF as a viable decarbonisation option for the aviation industry, making Asia a leader in SAF for net-zero aviation.”

ASAFA aims to enhance market frameworks supporting SAF development through dynamic working groups comprising industry and government stakeholders.
