ICAO's third Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF) runs this week ahead of the COP28 U.N. climate summit in Dubai, which starts on Nov. 30.
CAAF delegates from more than 100 countries are debating ways to boost supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made from materials like used cooking oil.
SAF is key to lowering emissions from aviation, but remains costly and in short supply.
Making access to financing more readily available to developing countries, another conference goal, is needed to bolster SAF production outside of the United States and Europe.
