Aviation accounts for approximately 2.4% of global COâ‚‚ emissions. In view of the current state of the global climate crisis, it becomes imperative to curb emissions. SAF is a biofuel which is chemically similar to conventional jet fuels and is one of the prominent solutions to decarbonize the aviation sector. It can be produced from renewable sources such as waste oils, municipal waste and non-food crops. With a carbon footprint much lower than conventional fossil fuels, SAF can help reduce COâ‚‚ emissions by up to 80%. With environmental regulations growing increasingly stringent across the globe, the demand for SAF is expected to pick up in the coming years. There are different technology pathways available for producing SAF. Currently, the ASTM D7566 lists seven approved pathways for the production of drop-in SAF. In addition, the ASTM D1655 lists two pathways for co-processing biomass-based feedstocks along with fossil fuels.
