The sustainability spotlight at Aviation Africa 2025 will focus strongly on practical solutions both for delivering sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and creating a policy environment that can support its introduction.
Experts from the sector, including AfriSAF’s CEO and co-founder Kwame Bekoe, and Silas Udahemuka, Director General of the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority, will debate and present their views on the measures that need to be taken to take the continent’s lengthy debates and studies from paper- and powerpoint-based dreams into reality.
The panel will be moderated by aviation industry veteran Vijay Poonoosamy, Barrister/Partner at Dentons Mauritius LLP.
“Africa’s success with SAF depends on mobilising feedstock, choosing the right technologies, reducing risks, and aligning policy with market incentives,” said Bekoe of AfriSAF.
“At AfriSAF we are enabling SAF production using our feedstock management tool and bringing together the right stakeholders to develop cost competitive projects.
“From energy independence to green jobs, waste management and improved air quality, our message is that SAF production could bring a disproportionate net positive impact to Africa on several dimension,” added Bekoe.
The AfriSAF CEO will also present his firm’s plans in the Insight Theatre at Aviation Africa, with a presentation titled: Solutions for enabling SAF production in Africa.
