According to a recent report, North America alone could be on course to produce 2,418 million gallons per annum of SAF by 2030.1 And with 2030 not that far away, that equates to a massive ramp-up in production and a whole new industrial segment opening.
SAF describes a category of fuel rather than a single product. It refers to any fuel designed for use in aircraft that is created from sustainable, non-fossil sources. It can be produced through various methods and from different raw materials, leading to small variations in its composition.
