Air bp has stepped up its efforts in sustainable aviation by starting a new educational program focused on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The company, a big name in aviation fueling, is using key events like EBACE 2025 to reach out to airlines, business jet operators, airports, and anyone interested in sustainable flight. With rising global pressure to reduce carbon emissions in aviation, Air bp’s program could not be timelier. Let’s take a detailed look at what this initiative means for the aviation industry, what happens at events like EBACE 2025, and how new systems may help companies worldwide get involved in a greener future.
Air bp’s New Program: Making SAF Easy to Understand
Air bp’s initiative targets the growing need for cleaner, more sustainable practices in the aviation sector. SAF, or Sustainable Aviation Fuel, is made from renewable sources and can help cut carbon emissions when compared to traditional jet fuel. However, many operators and companies find SAF confusing or hard to access, especially with changing rules about where and how it must be used. Air bp is working to solve these problems.
At the center of the program is direct education. During EBACE 2025, for example, Air bp is making learning about SAF interactive and approachable. Anyone attending the event can join SAF quizzes meant to both test their current knowledge and highlight areas where they may need more support. People who take the quiz leave with a small gift, turning learning into a rewarding experience. More importantly, delegates can speak directly with Air bp account representatives and SAF experts to ask questions about logistics, supply, and how SAF could fit into their own operations.
The focus isn’t just on fun activities. Air bp’s team breaks down complex supply chains, explains future plans, and educates on important legal changes coming soon. For example, the new ReFuelEU mandate, taking effect January 1, 2025, will require suppliers at European Union airports—including Air bp—to make sure their fuel contains a certain mix of SAF.
This mix of hands-on engagement, expert guidance, and practical information makes the initiative stand out at events like EBACE 2025.
Interactive Education: More Than Just Brochures
Interactive learning at major events sets Air bp apart. By using simple quizzes and personalized discussions, Air bp takes what can be a tricky subject and makes it interesting for people from all parts of aviation.
- SAF Quizzes: These are not ordinary tests. Instead, they are designed to open up conversations about SAF, uncovering what attendees already know and what they need to learn. This two-way approach helps everyone—from pilots to business managers—get involved.
- Expert Consultations: Having the chance to sit down with Air bp’s SAF team means tricky subjects like supply routes or new regulations are easier to grasp. A face-to-face discussion allows participants to ask about their own company’s situation, making the information feel practical, not just theoretical.
- Complimentary Gifts: Small rewards encourage people to engage actively, turning the sometimes dull subject of fuel logistics into something people are eager to learn about.
As reported by VisaVerge.com, this type of hands-on, personal engagement can make a big difference when it comes to spreading new ideas throughout an industry as complex as aviation.
Helping Customers Prepare for Regulatory Changes
One of the biggest challenges in moving aviation toward sustainability is keeping up with fast-changing laws. In Europe, this is especially true. The ReFuelEU regulation, becoming law at the start of 2025, will require every fuel supplier operating at EU airports to blend in a specific share of SAF. This law means that even if a customer isn’t currently asking for SAF, they may be required to use it soon.
Air bp’s program directly addresses this. At industry gatherings like EBACE 2025, the team talks one-on-one with operators about what the new rules mean, how to get ready, and how to make the switch with as little disruption as possible.
Some of the main points Air bp shares include:
- How much SAF will be required under new laws
- When companies must be compliant
- What happens if an operator cannot get enough SAF at their home airport
- How certification and carbon reporting work under the new system
This information is vital not just for large airlines, but also for small operators and private jets who may not have dedicated compliance teams or in-depth legal knowledge. By making the coming changes clear and easy to understand, Air bp helps customers avoid last-minute surprises and plan ahead.
Book-and-Claim: Making SAF Available Everywhere
Even with new rules, SAF can be hard to get in many locations. Some airports just don’t have the supply needed, creating big headaches for operators that want—or are required—to use greener fuels.
To bridge this gap, Air bp offers a “book-and-claim” system. This is a creative approach to let companies around the world benefit from SAF, even if physical delivery isn’t possible.
Here’s how it works:
- When a company buys SAF from Air bp in one location, the carbon benefit is officially recorded—even if the actual fuel is blended and used somewhere else.
- Customers receive certificates showing how much carbon they’ve reduced by supporting SAF.
- These transactions are third-party certified by groups like the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), ensuring honest tracking and no double counting.
- This system allows anyone—no matter where they operate—to claim progress toward carbon goals and meet reporting requirements, even if airports near them don’t offer SAF yet.
The book-and-claim approach balances the physical limits of fuel delivery with the industry-wide push toward sustainability. It opens doors for everyone, making sure no company is left behind simply because of location.
For those interested in the official process behind fuel reporting or looking for more on certification, more detailed information is available directly from the RSB’s official SAF page.
Broad Industry Partnerships: Working Together for Change
Transforming aviation fuel production and usage is not something one company can do alone. Air bp knows this and regularly works alongside original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), airlines, regulatory bodies, and certification agencies to create solutions that really work.
Some of Air bp’s most important connections include:
- ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization): ICAO runs broad-based ACT-SAF training, aiming to raise standards and awareness at a global level.
- RSB (Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials): This group not only certifies the book-and-claim process but also helps guide best practices for sourcing and reporting.
- Airlines and Airports: Direct conversations help tailor SAF solutions to the needs of each operator and location.
By sharing information, joining forces with industry leaders, and presenting at major conferences like EBACE 2025, Air bp is quick to adjust its methods and keep pace with changing demands.
Industry Context: Meeting the Demand for Cleaner Air Travel
Air travel is vital in our connected world, but it comes with a high environmental cost. Governments, environmental groups, and customers are all calling for cleaner skies. Many now look to SAF as the most promising way to reduce aviation’s climate impact in the near term.
Still, there are several hurdles:
- Supply Shortfalls: Right now, there’s not nearly enough SAF to meet the potential demand, especially as laws like ReFuelEU come into effect.
- Higher Costs: SAF is still more expensive to produce than typical jet fuel, making it a tough sell unless rules require its use or customers see clear value.
- Complex Supply Chains: Unlike normal jet fuel, SAF comes from many different renewable sources and must be tracked carefully to make sure it meets carbon standards.
Initiatives like Air bp’s new education program are important because they address these issues directly. By teaching people at all levels how SAF works, what limits exist, and how flexible systems like book-and-claim operate, the industry can move forward together.
Event Spotlight: EBACE 2025 and Beyond
EBACE 2025 is just one example of where Air bp’s efforts are evolving. As a leading European business aviation event, it attracts professionals from many areas of air travel. By attending, Air bp can reach a large, diverse audience.
