Faster production, supply and use of SAF is crucial − hence, the need for incentives from Governments and regulators. With collaboration across the industry, innovation and ambition, these strategies will significantly reduce aviation’s net emissions. The research suggests clear strategies for overcoming these barriers. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is up to two to eight times more expensive than traditional jet fuel, there is a lack of clarity and alignment across government and regulatory bodies regarding emission reduction targets, and many within the aviation industry are skeptical about the role of carbon offsets in helping mitigate emissions while SAF and other measures come to scale.
