Slow SAF Growth Risks Airline Climate Targets

Slow SAF Growth Risks Airline Climate Targets

IATA reports that the growth of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is slowing down, primarily due to insufficient policy support. Counterproductive mandates in the EU and UK may force airlines to reassess their SAF usage targets. Experts recommend establishing long-term policy frameworks, providing incentives, streamlining approvals, and supporting technological innovation to promote SAF development and help the aviation industry achieve its decarbonization goals. Stronger policy backing is crucial to overcome current obstacles and accelerate the adoption of SAF, ensuring a sustainable future for air travel.
