  • The COP28 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will be held from November 30 to December 12, 2023, in Dubai. This conference will draw up a first global assessment of the action taken by all States to comply with the Paris Agreement, concluded at COP21 in 2015.

Funds could be allocated, among others, to projects related to carbon capture and storage, nuclear energy as well as projects linked to the use of sustainable aviation fuel.
  • Global production of SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) is currently modest but expected to grow rapidly. This fuel has the particularity of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil kerosene according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The European Union aims to achieve 2% SAF in aviation fuels by 2025, and 63% by 2050.
