ABSTRACT
Investors must decide which of the seven approved SAF technologies to invest in, what raw materials are needed to produce SAF and how to market the new SAF fuel grades that are currently approved only as synthetic blending components. Billions of US dollars will need to be invested over the next 20 years to supply climate-friendly SAF to the growing aviation sector. However, the cost of producing SAF is significantly higher than the cost of JET A-1. This makes market access and sales of the new jet fuel generation difficult and will remain a challenge in the future. The US government has started to incentivise the production and supply of SAF, while the EU Commission has issued mandates to create the basis for the supply of SAF in Europe.
