Here we have discussed how the use of sustainable aviation fuel is boosting the sustainability efforts of the air freight sector.For more information click the link below.<br>https://www.globalialogisticsnetwork.com/blog/2022/12/21/deacarbonization-of-the-air-freight-sector-the-use-of-sustainable-aviation-fuel-saf/<br>

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) • Sourced from fatty acids & Hydro-processed esters. • Produced from feedstocks and waste products with minimal carbon content. • Process involves the refining of used cooking oils, fats, and waste oil. • Help developing countries that are suitable for the feedstock growth for coming up as producers of sustainable aviation fuel.
CHALLENGES IN THE PATH OF DECARBONIZATION Two Most Pressing Challenges: High costs and Limited supply. Another Major Roadblock : Lack of an adequate supply of sustainable feedstock Without Supply of sustainable feedstock, SAF is not going to become commercially viable.
FACTS ABOUT SAF • Presently, SAF is three times more expensive than conventional jet fuel. • Although the price of SAF will fall once the production scales up, the fuel companies are not ramping up production of SAF because of relatively low demand and investment uncertainty.
ROAD TO THE FUTURE SAF’s : • Largely dependent on government initiatives and investments. • Forms a very significant part of the international jet fuel supply. • Use is going to be crucial to meet the 2030 targets. • This requires massive investments not only in the production of SAF but also in scientific research.
PROBLEMS INVOLVED • The net production of SAF amounts to less than 1% of the fuel used by commercial carriers. • the governing bodies need to provide a boost to investor confidence. • The carriers need to replace their older freighters with more energy-efficient models to cut down emissions by almost 20%
