Flight Path to SAF: Innovation, Economics, and the 2030 Mandate

The aviation sector relies entirely on fossil jet fuel, but new regulatory measures like the ReFuelEU aviation initiative in Europe are forcing airlines to adopt sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in their operations. According to the latest figures, however, production of SAF in 2024 stood only at 0.3% of the global aviation fuel market. This poses a challenge for airlines that need to adopt 6% SAF in their operations by the end of 2030. 

In this webinar, Lux Research will: 

• Provide an overview of all technology pathways for SAF production and highlight key innovations in each and the startups and corporations at the forefront of SAF technology developments. 

• Identify the gaps in the SAF value chain and highlight the opportunity for innovation to overcome the barriers in the value chain. 

• Provide a realistic outlook of the SAF market, focusing on the economic viability of SAF production as well as the financial impact of SAF adoption for airlines.
