Sustainable Aviation Fuel Funds

A coalition of major airlines within the oneworld alliance, in partnership with Breakthrough Energy Ventures, has established a new investment fund for supporting Sustainable Aviation Fuel projects. The initial capital commitment is $150 million.

The primary objective of this collaborative fund is to provide financial backing for emerging technologies that produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel, with a specific focus on next-generation methods that aim to be more cost-effective and scalable than current options.

By pooling resources and leveraging the technical expertise of a specialized climate investment firm, the participating airlines seek to accelerate the development and commercial deployment of novel fuel production processes that can integrate seamlessly with existing aircraft and infrastructure and thereby address a critical bottleneck in the aviation industry's decarbonization efforts — the limited supply and high cost of low-carbon fuels.
