Where should we compete?
Choose the market, customer and geography where demand, eligibility, delivery and policy support create the strongest opportunity.
How Vansam helps
Vansam Advisory
Design backwardfrom airline value.
Vansam helps SAF producers and project developers turn production advantage into durable customer and project value by designing commercialization backward from the markets they target, the airline customers they need to serve, and the requirements investors and lenders must underwrite.
Customer recognition
Your plant can work. Commercialization can still fail.
You may have a credible technology and a viable plant. But before airlines or capital can commit, the project still has to prove where it should compete, how the fuel will reach the customer, what value can actually be captured and which risks must be resolved now.
Five commercialization decisions
What should the project be designed around?
Work backward from customer requirements to the product, feedstock, site, evidence and infrastructure choices that must work together.
How Vansam helpsHow does the fuel reach the customer?
Map the physical, operational and contractual route from the plant through blending and airport delivery to the airline.
How Vansam helpsHow should it be priced and contracted?
Create pricing, delivery and offtake terms that work for the customer and provide dependable project revenue.
How Vansam helpsWhat makes the project financeable?
Strengthen the revenue, evidence, counterparties and risk allocation that investors and lenders must be able to support.
