Ramping up SAF through standalone HEFA facilities
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production needs to grow considerably for aviation to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, given its role as the key enabler.

Policy support is vital to make net zero transition a success
The cost of the transition to airlines can be estimated as the additional cost of using SAF (and other levers), over and above the cost of fossil-based jet fuel.

Transition costs and relative magnitudes
IATA estimates total transition cost, defined as the additional costs for the transition levers that airlines could face over and above the traditional fuel bill, at about USD 4.7 trillion over 2024-2050 (Net Zero CO2 Transition Finance Roadmap).

SAF progress slowed by inconsistent public funding
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is crucial for aviation’s energy transition, yet its production accounts for less than 1% of aviation’s fuel needs in 2024.

Regional fuel cost variation affects competitiveness
The into-wing price is the all-inclusive cost an airline pays for fuel delivery to its aircraft. This cost varies significantly across regions.

Rising global air cargo yield despite record capacity
The global air cargo yield grew by 12% year-on-year (YoY) in August (the most recent data available), the highest annual increase in over two years.

Policies are critical for aviation’s energy transition
The main challenge for the air transport industry's transition to net-zero CO2 emissions —and the global energy transition—is the necessity to replace, progressively, petroleum-based fuels with alternative cleaner energies, including SAF, hydrogen, and renewable electricity.
