Revolutionizing Air Travel: Sustainable Aviation Fuel Alliance
Key Ideas
- Low-emissions aviation fuel is critical for reducing carbon emissions in air travel but faces challenges in supply and demand.
- RMI and partners launched a buyers alliance to bridge the gap between buyers and suppliers of sustainable aviation fuel.
- The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance helps companies reduce emissions from air travel by promoting sustainable fuel and tracking emissions reduction.
- The alliance uses SAF certificates to enable companies to purchase auditable emissions reduction claims, driving investment in sustainable aviation fuel production.
Air travel is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, with liquid fossil fuels powering most aircraft. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), derived from biological sources like waste cooking oil, can reduce carbon intensity by over 80%. However, challenges such as limited supply, cost barriers, and uncertain demand hinder its adoption. Recognizing this, RMI and partners established a buyers alliance to aggregate demand for sustainable fuel. The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) unites companies seeking to reduce emissions from air travel. SABA leverages SAF certificates to provide verifiable emissions reductions corresponding to sustainable fuel use. This initiative not only supports the growth of sustainable aviation fuel production but also demonstrates a strong market demand for cleaner air travel options. Through philanthropic support and innovative partnerships, the alliance aims to revolutionize the aviation industry by making sustainable fuel a mainstream choice for corporate air travel, thereby contributing to a greener future.
