Can sustainable aviation fuel clean up flying? | FT Rethink
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is made from feedstocks such as used cooking oil, can reduce emissions from flying by up to 80 per cent. With the aviation industry under pressure to hit net zero by 2050, airlines are eager to increase its use. The FT’s Myles McCormick looks at whether production of SAF can be scaled, and how long it will take.

How Jet Fuel Is Made From Trash | WSJ
Sustainable aviation fuel – or SAF – helps cut down air travel’s carbon emissions. SAF is seeing a large surge in investment that could fuel its growth after the industry has spent years trying to take off with efforts to decarbonize flights.
WSJ takes a look at the SAF supply problem, and how airlines and the government are pumping money into the low-carbon fuel sector to help get this industry off the ground.

Jet uses 100% sustainable aviation fuel to fly from London to New York
A long-haul commercial aircraft is flying across the Atlantic using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in what is a first for the aviation industry.
Previously, airliners were only allowed to use up to 50% of eco-fuel to power their engines.
But a Boeing 787 test flight from London Heathrow to New York's JFK airport will be powered purely by SAF - made up mainly of used cooking oil and plant-based products.

Alternative Jet Fuels (Part 8: Sustainable Aviation)
Alternative Jet Fuels are chemically equivalent to conventional jet fuel, but are produced from non-fossil fuel sources.
There are various ways of doing this, but they can be grouped into two categories:
• Biofuel
• Synthetic fuel
Biofuels cause more harm than good, as they intensify competition for scarce global land and water resource. For context, the wheat required to meet today’s aviation needs in biofuel, equates to almost as much as humanity’s entire food calorie requirement (and remember the industry plans to quadruple existing air traffic by 2050!).
Synthetic Fuel is scalable without requiring as much land, but is VERY energy intensive. It's therefore a massive waste of our limited low carbon energy resources and in any case, will be significantly more expensive than th...

Synthetic Fuel is scalable without requiring as much land, but is VERY energy intensive. It's therefore a massive waste of our limited low carbon energy resources and in any case, will be significantly more expensive than the baseline price for conventional aviation fuel. This is something that the aviation industry is NOT factoring into their future projects for air traffic growth.
Takeaway messages:
1. Biofuel can't be scaled sustainably
2. Synthetic Fuel can be scaled, but won't be cost-competitive with conventional fossil fuels. Without of course: effective emissions pricing.

It’s hard to replace jet fuel because the alternatives aren’t energetic enough, are too dangerous, or aren’t yet being made at scale.

To learn more, start your googling with these keywords:
Jet fuel - a liquid petroleum fuel with high specific energy and energy density, used in airplane jet engines, made of kerosene with a few additives
Specific Energy - how much energy something contains per unit mass
Energy Density - how much energy something contains per unit volume
Synthetic jet fuel - a jet fuel replacement, typically aiming to have lower life cycle environmental impacts than jet fuel (AKA: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), alternative jet fuel, renewable aviation fuel, renewable jet fuel, biojet fuel, sustainable alternative fuel)
Kerosene - a petroleum product that is the main component of jet fuel (and old fashioned lanterns)
