Excerpts: SAFs: A 30,000 Foot Perspective
Chapter 5, Summary:
The significant price difference between SAFs and conventional jet fuels poses a financial challenge for airlines aiming to reduce emissions. Higher SAF costs are due to elevated production expenses, limited supply, and the developmental stage of SAF technologies. Overcoming this requires increasing production for economies of scale, technological advancements, and regulatory measures to make SAFs financially competitive.
“A major hurdle in this transition is the significant price difference between SAFs and conventional jet fuels, which presents a dilemma for airlines striving to reduce carbon emissions without undermining their financial health.”
Haffner Energy and ATOBA Energy Partner to Scale SAF Market Through Long-Term Offtake AgreementsHaffner Energy and ATOBA Energy have partnered to facilitate long-term SAF offtake agreements, bridging the financing gap that has slowed industry growth. By securing multi-year pricing stability, this collaboration enhances the bankability of SAF projects like Paris-Vatry SAF in France and accelerates the expansion of biomass-based fuel production.
