C-SAF was formed to coordinate SAF efforts in Canada

Facilitate the production and use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) that are:

Affordable
Low-carbon/Sustainable
Made-in Canada

5

Accelerate commercial production and deployment of SAF in Canada by:

Catalyzing the ecosystem and activate value chains
Designing and promoting public policy, strategies and a roadmap for SAF development in Canada
Acting as a neutral and balanced technical expert
Providing the “go-to-place” for SAF deployment in Canada

Workshop 1

Workshop 2

SAF is a piece of Canada’s energy system transition to net-zero

One the main goals of C-SAF, is to focus the efforts of the ecosystem to create a new SAF market in Canada.

To achieve this, we are using a framework to develop a clean competitiveness roadmap for SAF. This framework looks at how to build industries that are needed for a net-zero future and that can add long term economic value to Canada .

Canada has all the right ingredients to build a SAF market including abundant sources of sustainable feedstock, renewable power, low carbon hydrogen and carbon storage opportunities. Also we have a strong record of refining, technical and academic innovation in the space.

The C-SAF roadmap will bring all this together and

identify the links and dependencies of the SAF supply chain, but more importantly within the context of an energy system in transition
align the whole supply chain around priority actions, policies and investments and
implement concrete initiatives to move things forward.

�C-SAF had held several workshop is currently working with its members to finalize and deliver a SAF strategy and roadmap for Canada by the fall

2-year Action Plan/Priorities

Roadmap broken down into 5 Action Areas and we used workshops to develop specific actions and priorities

1. Policy and programs
Advance a policy package that will incentivize SAF investment and use in Canada today Ensure that SAF production incentives are higher than renewable diesel to improve SAF project returns Build strategic collaborations to advance a SAF industrial policy for SAF development in Canada
2. Sustainability
Prioritize Canadian sustainable feedstocks for SAF production Articulate sustainability case for Canadian feedstocks, including plant-based oils Harmonize SAF accounting and certification methodologies given international sustainability framework (i.e. CORSIA)
3. Feedstocks
Build regional value chains by scaling up collection and delivery logistics for advanced feedstocks like forestry and agriculture residues
4. SAF Production Capacity
Create an active project pipeline with first commercial, demonstrations, and pilots in critical SAF production pathways
5. Technology and Innovation
Create clear technology development plans for SAF Secure demonstration funds for SAF Coordinate R&D with leading universities and international partners

Final thoughts

Aviation needs SAF to remain competitive in a net-zero future and is a key component of an aviation decarbonization strategy

National = create and enable a SAF market
Provincial = manufacturing and jobs

C-SAF has a Roadmap and action plan for Canada and regional markets and production hubs
