Sustainable Aviation Fuel—Investor Perspectives
Sustainability
In October 2021, many of the world’s airlines committed to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. It is generally accepted that this will require the broad use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In early September 2021, the Biden Administration announced a new goal to increase the domestic production of SAF to at least 3 billion gallons per year by 2030. This equates to just under 200 kBPD. For the purpose of this panel, the many incentives being put in place to help support the build-out of SAF production is treated as a given. This panel will focus on both the demand side, with the airline industries perspectives on SAF, and the financing industry’s supply side perspective on what makes a bankable SAF project. Please join this session to hear the views of TBA Speaker, Role at Untied Airlines and Chloe Petrich – Director, Project and Export Finance at Standard Chartered Bank as they talk about what their firms are doing to help drive a more sustainable future.

Topic
Collaboration Between Process Safety and Alarm Rationalization Teams
Digitalization
Alarm rationalization practices per ISA 18.2 and Safety PHA teams tend to have different approaches to justify alarms. As a result of these differences, alarms taken as safeguards in PHAs can be downgraded or in some cases removed during alarm rationalization. On the other side, PHA teams have a tendency to add more alarms than needed as safeguards which is counter to alarm rationalization principles. This session will highlight examples of these differences and approaches to agree through collaboration by understanding the needs of each team. Participants will:
- See examples of PHA risk ranking contrasted with alarm prioritization matrix that illustrates one difference
- See why it is ok to challenge safety alarms if redundant or counter to alarm rationalization principles
- See why the alarm rationalization team may recommend PHA team swap or change safeguards
- See why it is important to have the alarm management database aligned with PHA documentation
- Understand the difference between a rated independent protection layer (IPL) and a non-rated safeguard as it pertains to alarm rationalization
