What is sustainable aviation fuel and how is it made? The reason SAF could do this is that it is a type of biofuel, meaning it is made from plant or animal materials, rather than fossil fuels BP makes SAF using cooking oil and animal waste fat Other options include using agricultural and forestry waste, or municipal waste The biological materials that can be used to make sustainable aviation fuels
Could China’s cooking oil spur SAF globally? | World Economic Forum China is emerging as a major player in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) due to abundant feedstocks, low production costs and rapid renewable energy growth 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
7 factors to consider when undertaking the first SAF offtake 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 aviation sector and the First Movers Coalition for
Clean Skies for Tomorrow: Sustainable Aviation Fuels as a Pathway to . . . The World Economic Forum’s Clean Skies for Tomorrow coalition recognises that the most immediate action to achieve carbon-neutral flying is the investment in, and rapid scale-up, of sustainable aviation fuel production and use
SAF85 Technical Brief: Aviation Sector | World Economic Forum First Movers Coalition (FMC) aviation sector members have made the ambitious commitment to procure sustainable aviation fuel that has at least 85% lower greenhouse gas emissions than conventional jet fuel – SAF85 – by 2030 This technical brief is intended to accelerate the procurement of SAF85 by FMC members and others
Deploying Sustainable Aviation Fuels at Scale in India: A Clean Skies . . . The World Economic Forum’s Clean Skies for Tomorrow (CST) initiative has brought together an Indian community of private and public institutions with a shared vision of scaling production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) To realize this vision, the CST India initiative established a specific goal to transport 100 million domestic passengers on at least a 10% SAF blend by 2030
Financing Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Case Studies and Implications for . . . By 2030, global demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is expected to reach 17 million tonnes per annum (Mt a), representing 4-5% of total jet fuel consumption However, SAF production is lagging behind: to meet likely demand in 2030 requires an additional 5 8 Mt of capacity, which would need to secure final investment decisions by 2026
Scaling Up Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supply | World Economic Forum 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
Clean Skies for Tomorrow Leaders: 10% Sustainable Aviation Fuel by 2030 SAF is fully compatible with existing aircraft and is a viable industry solution in the transition to 2030 and beyond Members of the Clean Skies for Tomorrow Coalition are championing the commercial scale of viable production of sustainable low-carbon aviation fuels (bio and synthetic) for broad adoption in the industry
