Fuelling the future

As the aviation industry accelerates towards a greener future, biotechnology has emerged as a critical player in the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
With global decarbonisation targets on the horizon and billions of pounds in government funding at stake, biotechnology-driven innovation is propelling SAF to the forefront of efforts to combat climate change.
Biotechnology supports the SAF sector by providing the tools and solutions needed for SAF production.
At the same time, intellectual property (IP) plays a vital role in protecting biotechnology innovations, offering opportunities to recoup significant research and development investments and ensuring continued advancements in the field.
As the SAF sector continues to expand, so too does the need for strategic IP protection of its underlying technologies. Companies that secure patents for their innovations are better positioned to safeguard their developments and establish a strong market presence in this growing industry.
