Sustainability application of aviation eJet fuel
SAF will be essential to achieving the aviation industry’s ambitious decarbonization targets by 2050. Regulations will play a large part in increasing the share of SAF used in aviation and defining the qualified products. CO2 utilization and bio-SAF have great potential to supplement aviation turbine demands. Combining the production of bio-SAF and CO2-based industrial processes provides advantages regarding the most efficient use of carbon from different sources, with high efficiency and optimized costs.
