What is Low Carbon Aviation Fuel (SAF)?

Low Carbon Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Produced from feedstocks such as inedible waste fats and oils, high lipid oil crops, municipal green bin waste or recycled plastic waste.

vs.

Existing Aviation Fuel

Produced by refining fossil fuels extracted from the earth resulting in a negative effect on the environment as they release carbon from the past.

SOURCES OF LOW CARBON AVIATION FUEL

Low and zero-carbon technologies like electric and hydrogen-powered aviation are unlikely to be implemented for some time. Therefore, Low Carbon Aviation Fuel (SAF) currently is the only way to reduce emissions until another technology is available.

Low Carbon Aviation Fuel can be made from various feedstocks such as:

  • Biomass – Inedible waste fats and oils
  • Agricultural – High lipid oil energy crops like camelina or rapeseed
  • Municipal & Industrial – Grass clippings, food scraps, Excess wood, agricultural, and forestry residues
  • Recycled Plastic Waste

BENEFITS OF USING LOW CARBON AVIATION FUEL (SAF)

When fossil fuels are used to provide energy, they release carbon from the past, resulting in a net increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.

When Low Carbon Aviation Fuel combusts in an aircraft engine, the resulting CO2 emissions are returning carbon to the atmosphere.

From a life-cycle perspective, there is NO net addition of CO2 to the atmosphere from Low Carbon Aviation Fuel combustion.
