Aviation plays a crucial role in supporting the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda through the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to align with key sustainability targets. SAF offers promising pathways to accelerate the sector's sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting alternative energy solutions. The production and deployment of SAF directly contribute to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). SAF feedstocks sourced from agriculture, waste, and forestry residues have broader socio-economic benefits in line with SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), fostering inclusive economic growth. The aviation sector faces unique challenges in decarbonisation due to its reliance on high energy-density fuels for long-haul flights, making SAF a crucial component for reducing lifecycle emissions without extensive modifications. Studies show that SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel, making it a viable fuel strategy for aviation's carbon footprint. Although currently more expensive, SAF's compatibility with existing infrastructure and potential for cost reduction through investments make it a promising solution for the aviation industry. Policy frameworks and investments are essential to drive the adoption and production scale of SAF, supporting the sector's transition towards a greener and more sustainable future.
