Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is becoming a central pillar of the aviation industry's strategy to reduce carbon emissions. Because commercial aircraft require high energy density for long-haul flights, SAF provides a practical alternative that works with existing engines without requiring major hardware modifications. While the market is seeing rapid growth driven by government mandates and long-term offtake agreements, significant hurdles remain. High production costs, limited feedstock availability, and the need for specialized airport blending infrastructure continue to slow the transition from pilot projects to industrial scale.
