ICAO CAAF/3

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.
