Based on current trends, these are projected to increase by nearly 50% by 2030 and more than 80% by 2050 [1]. Of this, aviation accounted for 2% of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2022, having grown faster in recent decades than rail, road, and shipping [2]. In late 2022, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Member States adopted a goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions from international aviation by 2050. The agreement aims to reduce emissions within the sector itself directly from aviation activity, as opposed to via offsetting emissions through purchase of credits. Although it remains non-binding and lacks intermediate goals, member state governments are expected to produce action plans within their own national timeframe and capabilities [3]. In anticipation, and to meet a growing consumer demand, the world’s largest airlines have already taken it upon themselves to use and expand SAF in their current fleet [4][5][6][7]. To meet the target, get emissions on track and achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE), several technical […]
