Discover the UK Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Explainer Series, a three-part video guide designed to help fuel producers, technology developers, investors, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the technical principles of SAF qualification and approval. The series introduces the fundamentals of SAF and aviation fuel standards, and explains the role of pre-screening, robust development work, and ASTM D4054 — the standard practice for the evaluation of new aviation turbine fuels. Whether you are exploring SAF for the first time or preparing for formal qualification, this series offers clear, expert-led insights to support every stage of technical development on a fuel’s pathway to approval.
Watch the videos below:
In this first video, we’ll introduce you to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and explain the standards that ensure its safety and quality, as well as show how the Clearing House can support your sustainable fuel on its journey to market.
In this video, we'll provide a clear overview of SAF development, including pre-screening, process stabilisation, and the critical steps required before entering formal evaluation.
Finally, we outline the ASTM D4054 qualification process, explaining how new fuels are tested, reviewed, and approved for use in aviation, and show how the UK SAF Clearing House supports producers throughout the technical development of SAF.
