SAFA – Capacity Enhancement

As India’s aviation sector grows rapidly, the demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is increasing, creating an urgent need to build capacity across the entire SAF value chain. Stakeholders—from farmers and feedstock suppliers to airlines, fuel producers, and policymakers—must be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience required to ensure efficient, sustainable, and scalable SAF deployment.

The SAFA Centre of Excellence plays a key role in aligning stakeholders, creating strong networks, and enabling wider SAF adoption to drive aviation decarbonization. Our capacity enhancement programs include training workshops, webinars, field visits, and tailored learning sessions, structured to address the unique needs of each participant and ensure maximum impact.

Structured under a thematic playbook, our initiatives cover key SAF themes including:

  • SAF production pathways and technologies
  • Feedstock potential analysis
  • SAF certification standards
  • Direct supply line scenarios
  • Business case development and financing strategies
  • Policies, roadmaps, and international market compliance
  • SAF adoption technology studies and state profiles
  • Mapping of status/action planning and taskforce setups

We have already organized impactful knowledge-sharing sessions that brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators. These include:

  • Session on decarbonizing aviation at India Climate Week 2025
  • A webinar on “India: The Emerging Global Hub for Sustainable Fuel (SAF) – Driving Net Zero Aviation” in association with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)
  • Session on SAF pathways at India SAF Conclave 2025

Additionally, participants gain hands-on exposure through field visits, enabling them to observe SAF production, feedstock management, and operational best practices first-hand. These immersive experiences complement our workshops and webinars, helping stakeholders translate technical knowledge into actionable insights.

Looking ahead, the SAF Association is hosting a series of upcoming webinars and training programs to further strengthen capacity across the ecosystem. Details and registration can be found on our Upcoming Webinars page.

By integrating structured training, practical exposure, and continuous support, the SAF Association ensures that all stakeholders are well-prepared to drive SAF deployment, fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth across the aviation fuel sector in India.
