Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) - building a long-term sustainable aviation industry (classroom)
You can also take this course online in a LIVE virtual classroom setting:
Learn the fundamentals of carbon markets and sustainable alternative fuels (SAF) and their essential roles in the future of aviation. Sustainable alternative fuel and carbon markets are expected to play a larger role for the aviation industry as ICAO Member States begin to implement the Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). This course will allow you to analyze carbon market dynamics, strategies and pricing, and understand the environmental impacts of SAF. Using cost-benefit analysis, you will also learn about the financial implications of SAF to airline operations, supply chain logistics, and emissions trading schemes.
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
Estimate aviation’s role in carbon markets, current function and perspectives
Identify and compare carbon trading mechanisms, dynamics and strategies
Assess the impact of global policy initiatives and global market-based measures (MBM) on the aviation industry
Analyse SAF sustainability compliance requirements
Analyse the benefits of SAF for aviation and their environmental impacts
Construct a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the merit and potential for SAF use within existing airline operations
