Looking ahead, Willie Walsh said airlines had ordered 14 billion liters of SAF.
While there appears to be some demand for SAF, meeting it is another question entirely and its road to dominance in the sector looks to be a long one.
With"appropriate government policy support," IATA says it expects to see SAF production hit 7.9 billion liters by 2025, which would meet just 2% of the overall fuel requirement. By the middle of the century, the trade association says production would jump to 449 billion liters, or 65% of the sector's needs.
Although the European Union Aviation Safety Agency says there's"not a single internationally agreed definition" of sustainable aviation fuel, the overarching idea is that it can be used to reduce an aircraft's emissions.has described sustainable aviation fuels as being"made from renewable raw material." It's stated that the most common feedstocks"are crops based or used cooking oil and animal fat.
There are major concerns in some quarters that an increased uptake of SAF could, among other things, result in significant deforestation and create a squeeze on crops crucial to the production of food. For his part, Walsh said it was"critical" that the industry did not use feedstocks which compete with land use or food production."All of the regulations in relation to the … longer term development of sustainable aviation fuels will guarantee that that's not the case."
