✈️ BIG NEWS FOR CANADIAN AVIATION & THE GREEN SKYWAY CARNEY / BROOKFIELD 🇨🇦🌿Air Canada and Airbus have officially joined forces to invest up to C$13.7 million (US$10 million) into scaling commercial-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production right in Canada! The two aviation giants announced a jointly funded Sustainability Co-Investment Platform. The main goal? To push a selected Canadian SAF project past the finish line toward a Final Investment Decision (FID) and catalyze a thriving domestic SAF ecosystem. Off the Ground, On the Ground: Right now, one of SAF’s biggest bottlenecks is local availability. Canada has massive feedstock potential, and this platform directly targets commercial production capacity. Airbus Lead by Example: As part of a parallel 5-year agreement under Air Canada’s Leave Less Travel Program, Airbus is buying SAF environmental attributes for over 60,000 liters of SAF to cover its own employee business travel! Economic Impact: A joint study released alongside the announcement shows that scaling Canadian SAF to meet 40% of demand by 2040 could inject $32 BILLION into Canada's GDP and create 140,000 jobs across agriculture, forestry, and urban regions. *"SAF isn't just a bridge technology — it’s the single most critical tool we have right now to hit Net-Zero by 2050." * While both companies are bringing serious capital to the table, they’ve noted that a supportive government policy framework (working alongside C-SAF) will be the key to making domestic SAF price-competitive and accessible long-term. What do you think? Will direct co-investments between OEMs and airlines be the blueprint for getting SAF to global scale?
