Sustainable Aviation Fuel:

The Future in Flight

This content has been developed by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB).

Aviation: Net zero by 2050

How will we get there? As airlines and organisations around the world seek to reduce their direct carbon emissions and the indirect emissions of transporting people and goods, the best option available right now is the use of drop-in alternative fuels known as sustainable aviation fuels – or “SAF” for short.

But how do we know these alternative fuels really bring benefits to the planet, and people? What puts the ‘S’ in SAF? What technologies and tools are going to be important if you are looking to travel more sustainably?

Explore the videos and factsheets below on the most important topics you will need to navigate for sustainable decarbonisation in the videos and factsheets below.

Get to grips with SAF, now!

There is a lot of information out there and knowing what matters most can seem daunting – but the switch to SAF will be vital to ensure that people and goods can continue to move around the world, while also tackling the climate crisis. We* want to support you to understand some of the key concepts, questions to ask and things to be aware of if you are looking to know more about SAF, how it’s produced, whether it is sustainable and how you can access it, even when supply is limited.

So… let’s dive in.

SAF 101

What is SAF, why we need it, and how we can ensure that it is really contributing to a more sustainable world.

Raw Materials

Where SAF comes from and how – when sustainability risks are properly managed, its production can support livelihoods, contribute to food security and support thriving ecosystems.

Power-to-X

How does this new technology promise to accelerate decarbonisation by turning renewable energy, water and renewable carbon sources into fossil free SAF, and how can we ensure its production is sustainable?

Book & Claim

How can a ‘chain of custody’ approach unlock supply to meet global demand, and how can airlines and businesses use it to unlock more SAF availability?

  • Whether you’re exploring the SAF basics, learning what raw materials are used (and how), or digging deeper into the scalable solutions like power-to-x technologies and book-and-chain market mechanisms, these videos and factsheets are designed to give you the tools and information you need to accelerate your organisation’s decarbonisation goals.
