The conversation goes beyond the technical basics to look at how waste-to-fuel projects are financed, how they can be tailored to local infrastructure needs, and why collaboration across sectors may be essential if SAF is to scale at pace.We dive into a variety of topics including:How ZEERO Group is approaching project development, with each facility structured around local waste streams, local infrastructure and location-specific business modelsWhy combining waste management and fuel production could create a stronger commercial case for SAF-linked projectsThe financing logic behind these developments, including co-investment models, strategic partners and government-backed support mechanismsWhy investor confidence and proof of delivery remain critical for emerging pathways looking to move from concept to commercial scaleThe role of certification timelines and regulatory processes in shaping how quickly new SAF pathways can enter the marketWhy scaling SAF may require much deeper collaboration between aviation, municipalities, tourism, shipping and energy stakeholdersThis discussion picks up on some key themes from across the SAF industry so is well worth a listen if you are part of the growing ecosystem that is going o make commercial SAF production a global success.

Overcoming Obstacles by Giving Grace [caption id="attachment_13611" align="alignleft" width="429"] Rebecca Fletcher with her Dogo Argentino.[/caption] Rebecca Fletcher joins host Laura Reeves to talk about her journey as a service dog trainer and breeder owner handler of Dogo Argentino, while overcoming extreme obstacles after losing her leg. Fletcher, a retired Marine, started her journey by training her own Dogo Argentino as her first service dog. “Don't give up, but give yourself grace,” Fletcher said. “Grace is absolutely vital. And I wasn't very good at it. I get mad myself. You know, I train service dogs for disabled people and I tell them all the time, you know, you gotta be patient with yourself. And I give them some great advice. I'm not always good at taking my own advice. “I got my first Group One under Doctor Keating. And it meant so much to me because I was on the verge of not willing to do this anymore. I don't know if he'll ever know how much it meant to me to actually be in his ring and have a dog that I love so much be awarded. But it was amazing. “I didn't know anybody in the dog show world really. And it was a process, but a lot of people were very, very welcoming and guiding me. It's been a great learning process of figuring out how I can be in the ring with my disability. And again, advocating for yourself, you know, the AKC is not exempt from providing reasonable accommodations to us. "I hope to continue inspiring people to get out there and try and do whatever they can do. My goal is to help inspire other people to overcome their challenges and keep going. "We all have challenges and how we face those challenges I think is what makes all the difference."
