SAF stands for "Sustainable Aviation Fuel." It refers to alternative fuels that are designed to be more environmentally friendly than traditional fossil fuels used in aviation. These fuels are typically made from sustainable, renewable sources and have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional aviation fuels. The goal of using SAF is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and help the industry meet its sustainability targets.
SAF can be produced from a variety of sources, including waste products such as cooking oil and algae, and sustainable crops such as jatropha and camelina. The use of SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation by up to 80% compared to traditional fossil fuels. The use of SAF is growing in the aviation industry as airlines and manufacturers work to reduce their carbon footprint and meet sustainability targets.
