About 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 advance SAF research and innovation in Israel.

The center provides advanced research infrastructure, develops a national research strategy for SAF, and supports collaboration between researchers, students, industry, and decision makers. iSAF also promotes knowledge sharing through professional workshops, expert forums, public outreach, and the annual Israeli SAF conference.

A central part of iSAF’s mission is nurturing the next generation of SAF researchers in Israel. Through its Doctoral Network and competitive fellowships, the center supports outstanding graduate students conducting cutting-edge research across the SAF value chain.

By connecting infrastructure, expertise, and young scientific leadership, iSAF helps position Israel as an active contributor to global efforts toward net-zero carbon emissions in international aviation by 2050.

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.
