Quick takeaways
- Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) can reduce carbon emissions, but its scalability is limited by a lack of production capacity.
- Hydrogen and synthetic jet fuels (e-fools) are promising alternatives to decarbonize aviation, but significant investment and infrastructure development are required.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel: A Promising but Limited Solution
The podcast discusses the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as a potential solution to decarbonize the aviation industry. While SAF can reduce carbon emissions by around 40% compared to fossil fuels, there are limitations to its scalability due to a lack of production capacity. The podcast highlights a report by the Royal Society which estimates that to meet all jet fuel demands in the UK, between half and two-thirds of the country's agricultural land would be needed. Although SAF is a step in the right direction, it may not be enough to fully decarbonize aviation.
