Clean Skies for Tomorrow: Sustainable Aviation Fuels as a Pathway to Net-Zero Aviation
Summary
The World Economic Forum's Clean Skies for Tomorrow coalition identifies the scale-up of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as the most immediate action for carbon-neutral flying. The report concludes that while sufficient feedstocks exist to meet 2030 global jet fuel demand, achieving decarbonization targets requires reducing production costs through innovative regulatory mechanisms and clear demand signals.
Key insights
- The most immediate way to achieve carbon-neutral flying is through the investment in and rapid scale-up of the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
- There are enough sustainable feedstocks available to satisfy the projected global aviation jet fuel demand for the year 2030.
- Meeting 2030 decarbonization targets depends on lowering SAF production costs, which requires clear demand signals and innovative regulatory mechanisms.
