Nov 29, 2023 · However, SAF still has to be blended with traditional aviation fuel, which is made from fossil fuels. Current rules state that SAF can make up a maximum of 50% of the mixture, but there are hopes that airlines will be able to use 100% SAF by 2030.

Jun 10, 2021 · SAF is a cleaner fuel produced from sustainable feedstocks derived from various types of waste, by-products of agriculture, or power-to-liquid using hydrogen technology. With a similar molecular structure and chemical properties to traditional fossil jet fuel, SAF has the added advantage of being able to be dropped into existing aircraft ...

Mar 13, 2024 · This report provides key actions stakeholders along the entire aviation value chain should take to move towards 10% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030 and subsequent sector decarbonization by 2050. It showcases critical technologies for scaling up SAF, examines the limitations and barriers constraining cost and supply, and discusses the optimal global production hubs to satisfy the ...

Dec 6, 2024 · While China currently relies on used cooking oil for SAF, it must explore alternatives such as alcohol-to-jet and power-to-liquid fuels due to feedstock limitations. China’s SAF advancements and sustainability standards could disrupt global markets, potentially leading to international trade tensions, especially with the EU and the US.

Jun 22, 2023 · To tackle emissions caused by burning fossil fuels, airlines and SAF purchasing platforms calculate resulting emissions from a flight and introduce the corresponding volume of SAF to counter these emissions. There may be variations in calculating CO2 and SAF volumes depending on factors, such as SAF blend and aircraft model.

Jun 21, 2023 · The First Movers Coalition (FMC) aviation community are taking decisive action towards combating aviation emissions by embracing emissions reduction technologies, including sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). As the industry strives for net-zero emissions by 2050, SAF has emerged as the most promising solution, estimated to contribute around 65% of the required emissions reduction. Scaling SAF ...

Nov 11, 2020 · It finds that sufficient sustainable feedstocks are available to meet the projected jet fuel demand for global aviation in 2030. However, to reach the necessary production of SAF required for 2030 decarbonization targets, SAF production costs must be reduced, and this is reliant on innovative regulatory mechanisms and clear demand signals.

Aug 14, 2024 · While many FMC aviation members have made some progress towards procuring SAF85, the number and complexity of SAF production pathways and feedstocks on the horizon, as well as significant project-level nuances, make it difficult to identify products that meet the FMC’s high threshold.

Jan 20, 2025 · SAF is produced from multiple feedstocks, unlike fossil jet fuel which is primarily derived from crude oil. As a result, SAF value chains are expected to be more diverse than those associated with existing jet fuel production, opening opportunities for …

Oct 17, 2022 · The publication of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate (SAFc) Emissions Accounting and Reporting Guidelines by the Clean Skies for Tomorrow initiative, in collaboration with RMI and PwC Netherlands, marks a critical step in developing a standardized approach, proposing a consistent and transparent book and claim methodology to account for the carbon benefits of SAF across the value chain.
