IATA confirms sufficient feedstock exists to meet aviation’s net zero targets by 2050, but warns slow SAF technology rollout is the critical barrier. The study also identified significant barriers in using that feedstock for SAF production, namely:The slow pace of technology rollout that would enable SAF to be produced from varied sources. Currently the only commercially scaled SAF production facilities use HEFA technology, for example converting used cooking oil into SAF. Airlines will need 500 million tonnes (Mt) of SAF to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, as outlined in the IATA Net Zero Roadmaps. The potential to turn SAF feedstock into real SAF production is in the hands of policymakers and business leaders, particularly in the energy sector.
