Abstract

The chapter examines the critical role of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the aviation sector, which accounts for a significant portion of global transportation emissions. It discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with producing SAF from lignocellulosic biomass, highlighting the need for scalable and economically viable conversion technologies. The text explores various approved pathways for SAF production, including hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA), alcohol-to-jet (ATJ), and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, each with its unique advantages and limitations. It also delves into the economic considerations, including techno-economic analyses and life cycle assessments, to provide a holistic view of the potential impact of SAF on the aviation industry. The chapter emphasizes the importance of feedstock innovation, conversion technology advancements, and policy support in achieving the ambitious goals set by the SAF Grand Challenge. Additionally, it discusses the environmental benefits of SAF, including reduced GHG emissions and improved air quality, making it a crucial component in the transition to a more sustainable aviation future.
