Main airways in Europe have pledged to surpass the EU’s mandated 6% content material threshold for 2030 with some aiming for 10-12.5% SAF blends within the gasoline they use. There may be presently no credible various to the kerosene molecule for many aviation gasoline and due to this fact there might be very robust demand for SAF within the foreseeable future.
