Technical Expert Consultant for the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) Fuels Task Group (FTG)

The purpose of this RFP is to procure the services of a subject matter expert (SME) Contractor to provide technical expertise to Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF), supporting Canada’s participation in the Fuels Task Group (FTG) and participating in the review/preparation of reports to CAEP, to reflect Canada’s position on key issues.

CAEP, through its FTG, has been working on the development of processes and methodologies for consideration of SAF under CORSIA, including globally accepted sustainability criteria and life cycle methodologies. An integral part of this assessment is to determine life cycle GHG emissions, including induced land-use change (ILUC) impacts, for a variety of feedstocks and production pathways.

Canada is supporting the FTG and the development of a SAF industry in Canada. Canada needs to ensure that proposals developed at ICAO CAEP’s FTG can work in Canada and reflect Canadian realities for SAF production, wherever a Canadian context is applicable.
