SAF means Sustainable Aviation Gas – Sustainable Aviation Gas in Portuguese – a cost-effective different to kerosene that, along with sustainability standards, meets technical and certification necessities to be used in business plane.
Already in improvement for 15 years, this liquid gasoline produced from numerous sources corresponding to recycling oils, effluents, strong waste and biomass, amongst others, can scale back CO2 emissions by as much as 80%.
Final yr, following Carbon Credit score Markets’ participation in 30th edition of the SAE BRASIL International Mobility Congress and Exhibitionwe inform that there are already 9 licensed technological routes, producing 300 million liters per yr (0.1% of what’s wanted), sufficient for round 490 thousand flights. However with the expectation signaled by future buy contracts: US$40 billion by then.
We discuss with the doc “Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge Roadmap Implementation Framework” an interagency effort led by U.S. Division of Vitality (DOE), U.S. Division of Agriculture (USDA), e U.S. Division of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), introduced on November 20, 2024.
Though there may be already rather a lot happening, the doc identifies gaps present areas the place further efforts, public-private partnerships and help can be wanted to satisfy the targets established within the SAF Grand Problem.
-
Safety and political help authorities for organizing SAF provide chains.
-
Knowledge and fashions that enable higher evaluation of transport, provide chain and enterprise.
-
Enlargement and financial optimization of cultivation of uncooked supplies and utilization of waste potential.
-
Synergy with present infrastructure ethanol and petroleum trade.
-
Sectoral coalitions geared toward mitigating dangers.
-
Talk the progress and advantages of the SAF Grand Problem in a clear and efficient method.
In brief, profound adjustments underway in aviation.
In June 2024 we commented on the report “IATA’s Global Outlook for Air Transport”. In case you keep in mind, it indicated that the SAF already being consumed in aviation nonetheless has a excessive value, round US$2,500 per ton, 2.8x that of conventional aviation gasoline.
On the time of the SAE BRASIL Worldwide Mobility Congress and Exhibition talked about above, the price was 4x.
May this be a sign of a development in direction of value discount?

Lastly, additionally it is price remembering what is occurring when it comes to CORSIA, the worldwide emissions discount program for Worldwide Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
