Future Energy Global joins European Regions Airline Association

Dublin, 17 February 2025 – Future Energy Global (FEG), a pioneering force in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) solutions, has become an associate member of the European Regions Airline Association (ERA).

ERA member airlines play an essential role in providing vital air connectivity across Europe, including to remote regions and islands, but these airlines face particular challenges in obtaining reliable and cost-effective SAF supplies.

Solving those challenges for airlines and other stakeholders is Future Energy Global’s mission. FEG specialises in accelerating the SAF market through an innovative financial ecosystem that goes beyond ‘consortiums’ or ‘buyers’ clubs’ and that facilitates collaboration between all participants in the value chain. FEG enters into long-term offtake agreements with SAF producers, provides cost-effective SAF solutions for airlines, and enables investors and corporate stakeholders to participate in the scale-up of SAF production.

The aviation industry has committed to reaching net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050, and SAF – made from crops, wastes, or renewable electricity – is the biggest single contributor to this net-zero goal, expected to account for about 2/3 of the necessary emissions reduction.  To achieve this goal, SAF production quantities will need to scale more than 400-fold.

“We’re delighted to be joining an organisation as dynamic and as forward-looking as ERA,” said Natasha Mann, CEO and Co-Founder of Future Energy Global. “From our long industry experience, we know that European regional airlines are very committed to being at the forefront of sustainability, but they don’t have the scale or specialist SAF expertise of the big global airline groups, which can put them at a disadvantage. Our ecosystem approach aggregates SAF demand so small and medium-sized airlines can benefit from our volume pricing and expertise, and so that SAF producers can scale up production more quickly – which is what we all need.”

“ERA is delighted to welcome Future Energy Global to our membership, joining over 50 airlines and 160 associated companies,” said Montserrat Barriga, Director General of ERA. “Sustainability is at the heart of our airlines’ operations, and with SAF availability and cost already presenting significant challenges, I am confident that FEG’s expertise in this field will be highly relevant and beneficial for our members.”
