Fueling the Future<\/a>, serves as an educational and informational resource about the practicalities of SAF development, industry adoption, and pending expansion of supply and use, primarily from the perspectives of the business aviation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSAF blending components are made from bio-based or other\ncircular-economy feedstock sources. On a gallon-per-gallon basis, these\nlow-carbon components often reduce net lifecycle CO2 emissions in excess of\n50%, versus conventional jet fuel. Industry innovators are additionally planning\nto produce SAF blending components with deeper reductions, and in some cases\nmore than 100%, making the fuels carbon negative. SAF is a proven and trusted\nreplacement for traditional jet fuel that will help lower the industry\u2019s carbon\nfootprint. SAF has been used continuously at select airports since 2016, and\nits production is expected to scale significantly during the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe single-largest potential reduction in aviation\u2019s GHG\nemissions \u2014 and the key to reaching our goals \u2014 will come about through the\nbroad adoption of sustainable aviation fuel in place of the current\nconventional jet fuel,\u201d the coalition concludes in the guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SAF Coalition \u2013 which includes the Commercial Aviation\nAlternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI), the European Business Aviation\nAssociation (EBAA), the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the\nInternational Business Aviation Council (IBAC), the National Air Transportation\nAssociation (NATA) and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) \u2013 developed\nthe guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coalition\u2019s Steering Committee includes dozens of\naviation businesses, representing every point in the SAF development-and-supply\nchain, and all of which provided real-world expertise in the development of the\nguide. A list of SAF Coalition Steering Committee companies is provided on the\ngroup\u2019s website homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SAF Coalition\u2019s guide builds upon a host of initiatives\nto educate industry leaders, policymakers and others on the benefits and\nviability of SAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, in January 2020, the coalition introduced SAF\nfor business aviation consumption at Zurich Airport, in conjunction with the\nWorld Economic Forum. Similar, previous events were held at airports in Van\nNuys, CA, Farnborough, UK, Geneva and Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is very encouraging to see the continuously increasing\ninterest from the business aviation community to use SAF to address\nsustainability goals,\u201d commented Steve Csonka, CAAFI Executive Director.\n\u201cAlthough a modest user of the worldwide production of jet fuel, their exuberant\ninterest in acquiring supply will clearly help accelerate SAF production\nramp-up, one of the entire aviation industry\u2019s key needs. We hope this guide\nhelps amplify the opportunity and response.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe second edition of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Guide\nis a testament to our continued efforts toward a lower-carbon future,\u201d said\nEBAA Secretary-General Athar Husain Khan. \u201cRaising awareness to further fuel\nthe demand for SAF is crucial to overcoming challenges such as the large\ngeographical spread required for our sector. This guide is an important tool to\nhelp us spread that message.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe increasing need for strong coordination and\ncommunication as supply of, and demand for, SAF continues to grow are key\ncomponents of general and business aviation\u2019s commitment to addressing climate\nchange,\u201d said Pete Bunce, GAMA President and CEO. \u201cThis updated guide, which\nthe coalition has worked hard to produce, outlines how we can make meaningful\nchange in the promotion and usage of SAF. This is another example of how the\nindustry is working to make meaningful strides toward achieving our\nenvironmental sustainability goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IBAC Director General Kurt Edwards said, \u201cThis new edition\nof the guide reinforces our global commitment to sustainable aviation fuels,\nand provides a fresh resource to further educate the business aviation industry\nof this drop-in alternative jet fuel. SAF represents a critical measure to help\nthe global industry meet its long-term goal to address climate change by\nhalving carbon emissions by 2050 relative to 2005 levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to present this second edition of the SAF\nGuide,\u201d said NATA President and CEO Timothy Obitts. \u201cThe coalition\u2019s goal has\nalways been to increase the production and use of SAF, and education through\nthis guide is key to that mission. Many thanks to all those who put in a\ntremendous effort to make relevant updates and information available to the\npublic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are proud of the steps this coalition has taken to\ndemonstrate the business aviation community\u2019s commitment to a cleaner future,\u201d\nsaid NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. \u201cWe have made great progress on\nSustainable Aviation Fuel in recent years. Our goal now is to increase SAF\nsupplies as much as we can, as fast as we can, to make our sustainability goals\na reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
