CAAF/3 presents an opportunity to help progress one of the key building blocks to get us to net-zero carbon by 2050. Haldane Dodd Executive Director, ATAG
The third ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3) will be held from 20 to 24 November 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. More information will be made available on the ICAO website.
ICAO is hosting a series of preparatory and outreach events in advance of the CAAF/3 Conference in November. The aviation industry has been actively involved in these to outline the industry’s sector-wide net-zero commitment and the key role of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in achieving this.
Our objective is to outline the importance and potential for scale-up of SAF production to levels required in order to decarbonise commercial air transport.
This second pre-CAAF/3 event in Montreal on 25-26 September 2023 intends to undertake consultation among States with a focus on possible CAAF/3 outcomes for an ICAO global framework for aviation cleaner energy, seeking convergence of views in order to pave the way for result-oriented discussions at CAAF/3.
