Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) refers to a type of biofuel designed for aircraft that aims to reduce carbon emissions and other environmental impacts associated with traditional aviation fuels. SAF is derived from renewable resources such as plant materials, waste oil, and agricultural residues, as opposed to fossil fuels, which are extracted from the Earth. The production and use of SAF are intended to contribute to a more sustainable aviation industry by lowering the overall carbon footprint of air travel. SAF can be blended with conventional jet fuel and can be used in existing aircraft engines without modification, making it a practical solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation sector. The use of SAF is part of broader efforts to achieve climate neutrality in aviation by the mid-21st century.
