The airline industry emits near one billion tons of CO2 annually and its carbon footprint is growing at a time when climate change goals require it to go down.
SAFs are chemically indistinguishable from standard airline fuel – but their production process is significantly different than traditional fuels — though unlike EVs in the auto sector, there is much debate about which SAF approaches will be the ultimate winners, and what tradeoffs need to be made today to support current technologies in development.
Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury conveyed the matter at a panel at Britain's Farnborough International Airshow – a five-day exhibition where executives and key figures gather to discuss the future of air travel: "Probably in the long run — in many decades — we will find a very optimized way of sustainable energy but in the transition, the fast way is to use the SAF, and they are available now," he said.
"We recognize that climate change is urgent and imminent" said Jill Blickstein, vice president of sustainability at American Airlines. "As the world's largest airline, American is committed to developing the tools necessary to decarbonize our operations.", "all aimed at bringing forward the technologies that will help reach our ambitious sustainability goals," Blickstein said.
