The year 2025 represents a crucial juncture for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) industry, with global demand expected to nearly double to 2 million metric tons driven by official blending mandates and voluntary commitments. However, the SAF Market Outlook 2025, a collaborative report by SkyNRG and ICF, highlights the industry standing at a crossroads with challenges that could impede long-term scalability. The dominance of Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) technology, which currently accounts for 82% of SAF production capacity, faces a dilemma due to its reliance on limited feedstocks, potentially leading to a bottleneck by 2030. The report emphasizes the need to commercialize and scale alternative pathways like Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ), Fischer-Tropsch (FT), and e-SAF derived from green hydrogen and captured CO2 to ensure future growth. While mandates in the EU and UK are set to drive significant SAF demand, uncertainties loom due to policy fluctuations, supply growth delays, and trade tensions. The U.S. and Europe particularly face challenges in meeting production targets. Looking ahead, the report presents future scenarios for the SAF industry, emphasizing the necessity to transition beyond HEFA to meet the expected demand by 2050 and achieve substantial emissions reduction. Stakeholders are urged to prioritize advanced SAF pathways and sustainability standards to decarbonize aviation effectively in the coming years.
