Build a comprehensive foundation in sustainable aviation fuel — what it is, why it matters, and where the industry stands today.

Aviation's climate impact: 2–3% of global CO₂, ~5% total climate forcing, and why the sector is considered 'hard-to-abate'
The decarbonization toolkit: SAF vs. fleet renewal vs. operational efficiency vs. carbon offsets vs. hydrogen & electric — where each fits
Defining SAF: ASTM D7566 and D1655 specifications, drop-in compatibility, blending ratios, and neat SAF developments
Sustainability criteria: lifecycle GHG reductions (50–80%+), feedstock eligibility, and what 'sustainable' actually means under different frameworks
Global market snapshot: current production (<1% of jet fuel), major producers (Neste, World Energy, TotalEnergies), and price dynamics (2–5x premium)
Regional adoption: EU ReFuelEU mandates, US SAF Grand Challenge & blenders tax credit, and Asia-Pacific's emerging landscape
Asia-Pacific feedstock map: POME, used cooking oil, agricultural residues, municipal solid waste — availability and competition with biodiesel
Country activity scan: Singapore, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia

Distinguish SAF from conventional jet fuel and explain its role in aviation's net-zero pathway
Identify major feedstock categories and assess their regional availability across Asia-Pacific
Describe the current global SAF market including production volumes, key players, and price dynamics
Articulate why Asia-Pacific faces unique SAF challenges and opportunities compared to Europe and North America
