African aviation aims to decarbonize using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a critical solution for reducing emissions. The continent's projected aviation growth of over 5% annually presents a significant opportunity, but requires substantial infrastructure and policy development.

• Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are crucial for building the necessary infrastructure for SAF production and usage across Africa.
• The global SAF market is projected to grow from $1.1 billion in 2023 to over $15 billion by 2030.
• Building a single commercial-scale biorefinery can cost between $500 million and over $1 billion.
• The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates that over $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investment will be required worldwide to meet 2030 SAF production targets.
