The SASHA Coalition turned one in May – but we’ve achieved so much more than hitting our first birthday this year. So, as 2024 comes to a close, our Policy Assistant Sabrina looks back on not one, not two, but 12(!) of our greatest successes in these ‘12 months of SASHA’… 

We speak to Antoon van Coillie, CEO of ZULU Associates, a company promoting zero emission shipping.

We speak to Keith Lawless, Chief Commercial Officer of SAF+ International Group, an e-fuel project developer convening actors across the supply chain to produce e-kerosene to decarbonise aviation. 

We speak to Clinton Liu, CEO and founder of Modular Clinton Global (MCG), a technology platform using blockchain, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to create transparent and sustainable supply chains and accelerate green hydrogen production and its deployment in maritime.

Last week, the SASHA Coalition headed to the Labour Party Conference to talk green hydrogen policy. With the new government less than 100 days old, we were keen to hear what’s top of the policy agenda and raise awareness of green hydrogen’s vital role in decarbonising shipping and aviation.

We speak to Scott Pendry, Director of External Relations at Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, a company developing hydrogen propulsion fuel cell aviation.

In the first in our new Industry Insights blogpost series, we speak to Martin Nielsen, Plant Manager at Arcadia eFuels, a company using renewable electricity to produce e-fuels, crucial for decarbonising hard-to-electrify sectors like aviation and shipping. Martin oversees the company’s landmark first e-fuel plant will be constructed in Vordingborg, Denmark.

Why is green hydrogen such a crucial issue for the new EU Parliament? That was a key question at our webinar last week, where we were joined by a brilliant panel of EU industry leaders and policymakers to discuss green hydrogen's role in decarbonising aviation and shipping.

One of the more obscure of the 40 bills announced in the King’s Speech last week was the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (Revenue Support Mechanism) Bill. What is a revenue support mechanism? Our Policy Officer Nuala Doyle explains why this financial policy could make or break the UK e-fuel industry.

As shipping and aviation are two of the most emission-intensive industries, the new government must focus on decarbonising these sectors for the UK economy to reach net zero by 2050. Here are the key things our next government needs to put on its to do list from day one in office.

Ahead of June and July’s EU and UK elections, we at the SASHA Coalition Secretariat were eager to find out what the outcomes could mean for aviation and shipping decarbonisation. In that spirit we attended a spree of events to hear what industry and policymakers had on their minds. The two topics that repeatedly came up were decarbonisation and green growth. Read on to find out more about our key takeaways from the events we were at…

Read all the highlights from our recent webinar 'How decarbonising shipping and aviation will boost UK green growth'

The SAF mandate is a crucial regulation supporting the UK government's headline Jet Zero Strategy. But is it ambitious enough to drive aviation's decarbonisation at the pace required?

The European Commission has announced its strategic plan to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 with a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 . But how will it affect shipping and aviation?

2023 has been a huge year for decarbonisation policy. In this long-form read, Sabrina Khan-Dighe rounds up the most exciting policy changes that will impact shipping and aviation – and throw in a few recommendations of our own.
