Aviation biofuel - Wikipedia
WEBAn aviation biofuel (also known as bio-jet fuel [1] or bio-aviation fuel (BAF) [2]) is a biofuel used to power aircraft and is a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The International Air Transport Association (IATA) considers it a key element in reducing the environmental impact of aviation. [3]
What is sustainable aviation fuel and how is it made?
WEBNov 29, 2023 · There are strict sustainability criteria around SAF. To qualify as sustainable, it must cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% compared with today’s oil-based jet fuels. But research shows it can achieve much more than this, reaching cuts of up to 80% compared with traditional jet fuels.
