Partners Levi McAllister and Sidanth Rajagopal co-authored an article for Global Relay Intelligence & Practice examining why sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has become both a decarbonization priority and a strategic imperative for the aviation industry.

The authors discuss how geopolitical instability, evolving international climate regulations, and growing energy security concerns are accelerating the need for SAF adoption. They also explore the commercial, legal, and financial challenges to scaling SAF production, emphasizing the importance of long-term investment, regulatory certainty, and coordinated industry action to build a more resilient and sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem.
