What is sustainable aviation fuel and how is it made?
2023年11月29日 · Flights are huge sources of emissions, but airlines could cut their carbon footprints by transitioning to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). SAF is a type of biofuel – meaning it is made from plant or animal materials rather than fossil fuels – and it has the potential to cut aviation's greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared with ...
How India can become a leader in sustainable aviation fuel
2021年6月10日 · 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 ...
7 factors to consider when undertaking the first SAF offtake
2023年6月22日 · The First Movers Coalition for Aviation commitment has set a target to replace at least 5% of jet fuel member demand with 'super Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)' - with at least an 85% emission reduction factor compared to traditional jet fuel – by 2030. SAF Offtake Agreements are the key enabler to accelerating the decarbonisation of the ...
Industrial policy is shaping policy for SAF and other fuels
2025年1月17日 · Industrial policies focus on productivity growth and innovation. The EU and UK SAF mandates, for instance, encourage the innovation of advanced fuels, particularly with the introduction of a synthetic jet fuel mandate (e-SAF) from 2030 onwards. Fostering technological advancement can help build future industrial leadership and competitiveness.
6 aviation execs on an EU sustainable aviation fuel mandate
2021年7月16日 · SAF production levels can achievably increase to 10% of total EU jet fuel demand by 2030 while adhering to strict sustainability requirements. An EU SAF blending mandate can accordingly reach this level, but requires a number of supporting components, such as preferential feedstock access for the aviation sector and a strong and long-term ...
How to scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel in the next decade
2023年1月10日 · Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is an immediate and scalable solution to decarbonising the industry. As a quick primer, SAF is a mix of hydrocarbons that is chemically similar to conventional jet fuel but not derived from fossil fuels. SAF instead relies on carbon atoms from organic and waste materials known as feedstocks.
Could China’s cooking oil spur SAF globally?
2024年12月6日 · The country is a major exporter of waste and residue feedstocks, such as used cooking oil, which can be used to produce SAF, which is a jet fuel with up to 80% fewer life cycle carbon emissions compared to fossil fuel. Prioritizing domestic SAF production could enable China to expand SAF refineries rapidly.
Scaling Up Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supply | World Economic …
2024年3月13日 · 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 …
How Singapore can lead the way on sustainable aviation fuels
2023年7月19日 · Policy support: Southeast Asian governments can enact supportive policies and regulations to encourage SAF adoption. This includes setting targets for sustainable aviation fuel use, implementing carbon pricing mechanisms, and providing long-term incentives for …
Why businesses are choosing to fly on Sustainable Aviation Fuel
2022年5月24日 · The First Movers Coalition (FMC) aviation commitment pushed this objective a step deeper to help scale nascent but critical technologies, with commitments from companies to replace at least 5% of conventional jet fuel demand with SAF that reduces life-cycle GHG emissions by 85% or more when compared with conventional jet fuel, and/or by using ...
