Sustainable Aviation Fuel production set to grow, says IATA
As efforts continue to reduce carbon emissions, international airlines’ grouping IATA on Tuesday said the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is set for continued growth with a wide geographic footprint spread across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects overall renewable fuel production to reach an estimated capacity of at least 69 billion litres (55 million tonnes) by 2028.
The grouping of more than 300 airlines has also pitched for production incentives to support the aviation industry’s energy transition as well as for continued approval for more diversification of methods and feedstocks available for SAF production.
