Airlines 'unprepared' for transition to sustainable aviation fuel
Air France-KLM is the highest rated airline in terms of SAF ambition.
Global airlines are not purchasing enough sustainable aviation fuel to support the climate transition, as well as betting on “the wrong kind” of SAF, new analysis has found.
A report by think tank Transport and Environment (T&E) has found that the SAF purchases made by 77 airlines would only lead to a 0.15% to 1.3% increase in SAF consumption by 2030 – reducing the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions by less than 1% or “not even enough to offset growth in air traffic”.
