In November, we were gathering in Shanghai to discuss how ISCC PLUS and SAF investments support stakeholders as they adapt to regulatory changes during their transition to a circular economy and bioeconomy.

Our experts and invited industry leaders showcased examples of successful real-world applications of ISCC PLUS and ISCC-certified SAF. We also shared facts and figures related to the regional growth of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market and emphasise certification prospects for Chinese companies.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting in-person event. Please find the presentations below:
