SUSTAINABLE aviation fuels (SAF) offer a promising solution to reduce carbon emissions, but significant challenges as well, reports Ireland's Radio Telefis Eireann.
Key developments include the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation mandating two per cent SAF blending by 2025, rising to 70 per cent 2050.
SAF can be derived from waste oils, agricultural residues, algae, and synthetic fuels created using renewable energy.
While SAF is compatible with current aircraft engines, its adoption depends on scaling production and securing investments in renewable energy infrastructure.
