The real cost of green aviation

Evaluation of sustainable aviation fuel ramp-up scenarios and cost implications for the European aviation sector

Rapidly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the effects of climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. All industries, including aviation, need to transform to meet the commitment to mitigate the effects of climate change. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are considered the key element in the effort to create a more sustainable aviation industry.

This study takes a closer look at the potential of SAFs including their real cost markup compared with fossil-based jet fuel. It further evaluates how much SAF of what type needs to be blended to achieve the planned ReFuelEU blending directive by the EU up to a Net Zero target until 2050.

Register now to get to know the advantages of SAF with regard to costs, ESG claims and climate targets.
