Clean Jet Fuel Production Lagging Behind 2030 Goals

The ramp-up of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has been slower than expected due to high costs and economic uncertainty, putting global clean jet fuel supply off course to reach the 2030 targets, according to a report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Airlines and airports globally invest just 1-3% of their revenues or capex on SAF, per the report cited by Reuters. High production costs remain the key barriers to faster adoption of SAF, accordin…

Although the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has increased by 1150 per cent over the past three years, it still accounts for only 0.3 per cent of global production of civil aviation fuels in 2024. At this rate, air transport is likely to lag between 30 per cent and 45 per cent behind the 2030 targets that it set for the Paris Accords, according to a study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) with over 500 professionals from 207 airline…

European airlines pull the emergency brake on targets around SAF

Europe’s major airlines think that Europe’s ReFuel legislation is not going to succeed in creating the affordable market for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that is promised. They said this at a press conference in Brussels. They fear there will not be enough production. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report, released on Thursday, predicts a shortfall of up to 45% in eSAF and 30% in SAF supply by 2030. Ramp up production or postpone quotas Th…

IATA establishes the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization to operate SAF registry
