Due to the limited options for carbon reduction and the significant capital cost of fleet replacement, “drop-in” alternatives with bio-jet-fuel is key for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation strategies in the aviation sector. This is reinforced by European ambition which will be gradually ramped up to 2% of SAF by 2025 and to 5% by 2030 as part of the European Green Deal. In the US, the Energy department is empowering energy companies and aviation stakeholders to launch a bio-jet-fuel demonstration plant while used cooking oil is already being blended with kerosene.
