SAF

SAF is made from a variety of renewable sources, including used cooking oil, agricultural waste, and algae. It has a similar composition to traditional aviation fuel and can be used in existing aircraft engines without modification.

SAF has a lower carbon footprint than traditional aviation fuel, which makes it an important tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation industry. It also has the potential to reduce other harmful emissions, such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.

SAF is not yet widely available, but the aviation industry is working to increase its production and availability. Some airlines have committed to using SAF for a portion of their fuel needs, and there are several SAF production facilities under construction around the world.

SAF must be certified by regulatory agencies to ensure its safety and compatibility with existing aircraft engines. The certification process can be lengthy and expensive, which has been a barrier to the widespread adoption of SAF.

SAF is currently more expensive than traditional aviation fuel, but the cost is expected to decrease as production scales up and more airlines commit to using SAF.

SAF can be used in any aircraft that is approved to use Jet A or Jet A-1. This includes commercial airliners, business jets, and military aircraft. SAF has been successfully tested in a variety of aircraft, including the Boeing 747, Airbus A320, and the Gulfstream G280.

SAF is being developed and produced in various regions around the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia. The production and availability of SAF is still limited, but there are ongoing efforts to increase production and use of SAF in aviation.

SAF is expected to play an increasingly important role in the aviation industry as it seeks to reduce its carbon footprint. The International Air Transport Association has set a goal of achieving carbon-neutral growth in the aviation industry by 2020, and SAF is a key part of that strategy.
