Five SAF startups to watch, according to our data
Aviation accounts for 2–3% of global CO₂ emissions—a climate contribution estimated to be two to four times higher when accounting for their impact on the atmosphere. As a means to decarbonize the industry, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has emerged as a promising solution. SAF is produced from feedstocks, hydrogen, or captured carbon as a […]
SAF Investment Trends
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) have emerged as a critical solution to reduce the aviation sector’s growing carbon footprint. SAF could contribute up to 65% of the emissions reductions needed for aviation’s net-zero targets by 2050, leading to over 11 billion in funding flowing into 256 companies, according to our data. While most solutions are […]
The Pathways to Scaling SAF
Decarbonization has long been a priority for the aviation industry, but the journey to achieving net-zero has been far from linear. Since the first commercial flight took off with biofuels in 2008, the path towards sustainability has been full of obstacles. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has the potential to cut lifecycle greenhouse emissions by […]
Sustainable Aviation Fuels: 5 Key Challenge Areas
Aviation is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise. The industry is responsible for 2–3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a share that is only expected to keep rising. Despite ambitious targets to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the industry has faced significant challenges in reaching them. Finding sustainable alternatives to […]
