The Paris agreement which was adopted by 196 parties at COP-21 to limit global warming below 2 degree Celsius and preferably 1.5 degree Celsius by the end of the century, got the countries and companies across the globe to identify solutions to mitigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. One such industry which was identified as hard to decarbonize was aviation.

GHG emissions from aviation industry constitutes nearly 2% of the global GHG emission and approximately 11% of the transportation industry. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a biofuel which is used to power aircrafts and has a similar chemical property to conventional jet fuel albeit with a much lesser carbon footprint.

SAF is manufactured using sustainable feedstocks such as vegetable oil, used cooking oil (UCO), animal fat, biomass, ethanol, municipal solid waste (MSW) and other sustainable feedstock. This helps to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) by up to 80% when used as a blend with conventional aviation turbine fuel (ATF).

Different pathways to produce SAF have different blending options. In some pathways, the SAF produced is a ‘drop-in’ fuel which means its usage (either as a blend or completely replacing aviation turbine fuel) need not change existing equipment or infrastructure.
