Accelerating Sustainable Aviation Fuel Initiatives.

The Canadian Council for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (C-SAF) was created by leaders from over 60 airlines operating in Canada seeking to bring together key industry stakeholders and government to accelerate the commercial production and use of Canadian-made low-carbon and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in Canada.

What is C-SAF?

The Hub and Voice for Sustainable Aviation Fuels in Canada

C-SAF aims to catalyze a SAF ecosystem and mobilize efforts to accelerate the commercial production and increase the scale and use of SAF in Canada. With stakeholder insights from across the SAF value chain, the Council plans to serve as a voice for its members with government and nongovernment stakeholders to define the strategy and the roadmap for the creation of a sustainable and profitable SAF market in Canada.
