SAFs are produced from sustainable feedstocks such as waste oils and agricultural residues. They can generate up to 80% reduction in carbon emissions over their lifecycle when compared to regular jet fuel, because they burn cleaner and can be grown, extracted, developed and disposed of in more environmentally friendly ways. According to International Air Travel Association (IATA) director general Willie Walsh, SAFs will be key to the global airline industry meeting its recent pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
