Benefits of Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Sustainable Aviation Fuel, made from fats and oils, offers a significant reduction in carbon emissions, marking a pivotal step in the aviation industry's sustainability journey. Despite its current low prevalence in jet fuel usage, the industry is witnessing a gradual increase in demand for this eco-friendly alternative. The challenge lies in scaling up production to meet the increasing demand, as SAF is currently three to four times more expensive than conventional fuel. Airlines like Alaska Airlines are exploring innovative ways, such as partnerships with tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon, to offset the cost and promote the use of SAF.
