Namibia will host the official launch and in‑country workshop on the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Feasibility Study from 31 March to 01 April 2026 in Windhoek. This milestone initiative supports global efforts led by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to advance sustainable aviation and reduce carbon emissions worldwide. Aligned with the ICAO “No Country Left Behind” initiative and Assembly Resolution A41-21, the project is made possible through financial contributions from Switzerland to the ICAO Environment Fund under the ICAO ACT-SAF programme.
Over the next six months, the SAF Feasibility Study will assess Namibia’s potential to produce and deploy Sustainable Aviation Fuel in support of its climate action commitments and sustainable energy transition. Given the aviation sector’s key contribution to national emissions, the study will require close collaboration among policymakers, industry stakeholders, research institutions, and financial partners.
