“The interest in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is increasing, and there is significant potential. However, the concrete plans we have seen are not yet sufficient. Governments have set clear expectations for the aviation industry to achieve a 5% reduction in CO2 emissions through SAF by 2030 and to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. They now need to implement policies to ensure airlines can actually purchase SAF in the necessary quantities,” said Willie Walsh.

Emirates made history with its first flight powered by a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Dubai International Airport last month, a part of the airline’s sustainability efforts. Under a supply agreement with Shell Aviation, the flight to Sydney, EK 412, departed on October 24. Shell Aviation supplied 315,000 gallons of blended SAF to Emirates in Dubai, allowing the airline to operate multiple flights using this sustainable fuel.
