The Annual Israeli SAF Conference
Apply NowAbout Us
The Israeli Sustainable Aviation Fuel Knowledge Center for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (iSAF), supported by the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, was established to provide advanced SAF research infrastructure, foster scientific and engineering leadership, and disseminate relevant knowledge for researchers, the public, and decision makers. The iSAF center is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of scientists: iSAF’s Doctoral Network includes tens of graduate students from across Israel working on various aspects of SAF research, enjoying dedicated competitive scholarships. This dynamic ecosystem of researchers, students, and industry leaders accelerates advancements in sustainable aviation, positioning Israel as a leader in the field and driving the country towards global goals of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 for international civil aviation operations.

SAF activities in Israel
Boeing-Technion SAF Innovation Center
Established in late 2023, the Boeing–Technion SAF Innovation Center is a leading force in the global effort to advance Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
The project focuses on the development and qualification of electrofuels (eSAF) produced via Power-to-Liquid (PtL) processes, using green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide.
Israeli Innovation Authority Consortium
In 2025, the Israel Innovation Authority allocated 100 million shekels to launch a national Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) consortium. This strategic collaboration brings together five leading industrial companies and six academic research groups to develop cutting-edge technologies for producing bio-based aviation fuel from renewable feedstocks. These include used cooking oil, solid organic waste, syngas, residues from the wood and paper industries, and recycled plastics.
Boeing Consortium
As part of the Boeing–Technion SAF Innovation Center, which focuses on the development of electrofuels (eSAF), a national consortium of leading Israeli stakeholders was established in late 2023.
Collaborations
iSAF’s infrastructure is provided via collaborations with top universities like the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and Bar-Ilan University. iSAF is driving innovation and advancing research in SAF through academic and industry partnerships.
