FLYING

HIGHER

Regulatory frameworks are evolving in different regions to support the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ) as the aviation industry needs to reduce its carbon emissions . The EU ’ s ReFuelEU initiative is a notable example , mandating that 70 percent of the 2050 blending requirement be SAF , with 50 percent of that sourced from Power-to-Liquids ( PtL ). This initiative sets a precedent for other countries , including the UK , US , and beyond , to follow suit with their own mandates and mechanisms . Most recently Singapore ’ s decision to use SAF to power all departing flights from 2026 demonstrates the rapid progression of SAF into mainstream aviation operations . Hence whilst SAF is a very small proportion of jet fuel today , it has huge potential growth prospects . Ultimately there is broad support behind the prize , enabling a future where people can fly with limited concerns about their impact on climate change .
