MONTREAL, CANADA — On May 30, 2025, the 3rd Annual Flightpath to Net Zero: Sustainable Aviation Fuel Conference will take place at Novotel Montreal Centre, bringing together global experts to advance sustainability in aviation. Organized by Aeropodium, this international event will focus on the transformative potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a biofuel derived from feedstocks like vegetable oils and ethanol, which can significantly reduce CO2 emissions without requiring aircraft modifications or extensive airport infrastructure upgrades.
The conference will feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including Denis Arguin, Vice President of Project Development at Enerkem, and Jean Paquin, CEO of SAF+ International Group. Other notable experts include Marion Chivot-Legris, Director of ESG & Sustainability Strategy at Edmonton International Airport, and Mildred Troegeler, Executive Liaison to ICAO and Director of Global Regulatory Strategy at Boeing. A keynote address speaker is yet to be confirmed, but the agenda promises robust discussions on critical topics shaping the SAF landscape.
“SAF has emerged as a transformative solution, crafted from vegetable oils or ethanol derived from crops.”
Attendees will explore the latest SAF innovations and technologies, focusing on production and implementation advancements that are driving eco-friendly aviation. Sessions will also address operational challenges for operators, offering insights into best practices for integrating SAF seamlessly. The impact of SAF on aircraft and engine manufacturing will be another key focus, examining how the industry is adapting to support sustainable aviation development. Discussions on international collaboration and regulatory frameworks will provide global perspectives on SAF implementation, while economic and environmental advantages will highlight the long-term benefits and potential cost savings for stakeholders.
Networking opportunities will allow participants to connect with industry leaders, researchers, and professionals, fostering collaborations and idea exchange within the SAF ecosystem. With sponsorship opportunities available—interested parties can contact [email protected]—the event underscores the collective effort needed to pave the way for a more sustainable aviation industry.
