Abstract

Sustainable Aviation Fuel, sometimes known as SAF, is a biofuel that has been certified as Jet Fuel (Jet-A/A1). At present, only 0.1% of all flights, rely on Sustainable Aviation Fuel derived from feedstocks. Sustainable Aviation Fuel is exclusively produced from various renewable sources. Sustainable Aviation Fuel significantly reduces carbon emissions by an average of 80%. The aviation industry is responsible for 2.5% of the total global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, it has thus far made a contribution of approximately 4% to the phenomenon of global warming. Although flying is considered a highly carbon-intensive activity, it only accounts for a mere 2.5% of global carbon emissions.
