ABOUT THE COURSE
The importance of sustainability in aviation has grown over the past decade as the industry strives to achieve ambitious
decarbonisation goals. New regulations, technologies and innovations will all contribute to the greening of the skies, but the
solution seen as the most impactful is Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).
This course will uncover the latest developments, pathways, policies and techno-economic analyses driving the adoption and
growth of SAF produced from eFuels and Power to Liquids (PtL) processes. It will also cover the scalability and timelines for the
widespread use and adoption of these processes and their exciting current and future prospects.
This Masterclass is suitable for aviation and non-aviation industry professionals alike, and for industry stakeholders seeking to gain a
better understanding of an opportunity that is set for enormous growth over the coming decades.
DR. VALENTIN BATTEIGER
Strategic Research Coordinator -
Future Aviation Fuels
Bauhaus Luftfahrt e.V.
Valentin coordinates the research on future aviation fuels at Bauhaus Luftfahrt, a
think tank with a long-term focus on future mobility and future air travel. His current
research interest is in various alternative fuel pathways that potentially enable large-scale
renewable fuel supply for aviation.
He is a future aviation fuel expert and has co-authored an expert background paper on
the perspective of power-to-liquid pathways for aviation (‘Power-to-Liquids: A scalable
and sustainable fuel supply perspective for aviation’). Valentin represents Bauhaus
Luftfahrt in the aireg initiative (aireg – Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy in
Germany e.V.) and serves in the Technical Advisory Board of the Aviation Climate
Taskforce.
Valentin has been involved in the first solar-thermochemical synthesis of kerosene within
the EU. On the biofuel side, he coordinates the EU project CIRCULAIR that develops
technologies to convert agricultural residues into jet fuel via a coupled advanced biofuel
and power-to-liquid pathway.

Each course is interactive and hands on - it’s not just a lecture where the
trainer speaks for the whole session, delegates can ask questions, access
important documents and network with other attendees on the course.
It is quite literally an interactive classroom – but you save money on travel
and taking time out of the office!
THE FORMAT
This online course is broken down into two sessions, each lasting approximately three hours. All course materials and slides used will
be shared throughout the course and sent to you after each session. We will dedicate specific areas of the course to Q&A so you can
speak with the trainer and the other delegates.
Although we recommend you attend each session to get the full benefit, we understand that your own schedule may prohibit you to
do so. All sessions are therefore recorded and sent out to any registered delegates after they have been delivered.
1. Book your place online via the course page, or
contact us for further informaton.
2. Once booked, we will confirm your place
and send you the live course link.
3. We will send you reminders
about the course and also any
materials you may need for
pre-course readings.
4. Log in and learn from the
comfort of your home. After the
course has finished, we will send
you all slides, materials and session
recordings.
