- Increasing the production and utilization of SAF is a critical step for achieving the air transportation sector’s net-zero CO2 emissions goal by 2050.
- SAF prices are currently two to five times higher than the price of conventional jet fuel.
- Wide uncertainty remains regarding global policy deployment to support investment needed to meet SAF goals.
