What happened
The Global Fuel Forum, launched by GenZero and the World Economic Forum in May 2025, expanded its partnership structure on September 22, 2026. The forum is shifting its focus from building market awareness to facilitating corporate action and transactions for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and SAF certificates (SAFc) across Asia. The Steering Committee gained Center for Green Market Activation and Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company, while Amazon and Bain & Company joined the industry alliance.

Why it matters
This expansion is critical for aviation decarbonization in Asia, where SAF supply remains constrained by its premium over conventional fuel. The forum aims to translate growing corporate interest into credible and scalable demand for SAF.
Global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production is currently significantly below established targets.
