Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the most promising lever known today to accelerate progress toward a net zero future – it can use the existing fuel infrastructure to get it to airports and is safe to use in current aircraft engines. And, importantly, the use of SAF has the ability to reduce emissions by up to 80% with the potential for net negative emissions in certain circumstances.
