The initiative aims to enhance fuel quality oversight, provide industry education, and drive policy awareness as the aviation sector pushes toward its climate goals.
A Unified Effort to Advance SAF Standards
SAFII brings together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, supply chain partners, and fuel testing experts to create a centralized hub for SAF-related knowledge and best practices.
“We want SAFII to serve as a go-to resource for all aspects of sustainable aviation fuel,” said Cindy Tomei, CAE, president of SAFII. “Our goal is to maintain consistent fuel quality standards, increase legislative awareness, and support the industry’s transition to more sustainable fuel solutions.”

*Networking opportunities for SAF professionals
Additionally, the organization is the only entity currently offering ASTM-certified aviation fuel quality training.
Membership and Industry Collaboration
SAFII welcomes members from diverse sectors involved in SAF production, including:
*Government agencies, policymakers, and market analysts
*Feedstock producers and researchers
*Testing and refining engineers
*Logistics, storage, and transportation companies
*Airports, airlines, and aviation organizations
Several leading companies have already pledged support, including Falex Corporation, Compass Instruments, and Baker Tilly.
