Excerpts: SAFs: A 30,000 Foot Perspective
Chapter 6, Section 6.1, Summary:

SAFs consistently cost 2-4 times more than conventional jet fuel, significantly impacting airlines’ operating costs. Factors like land use, feedstock availability, and lifecycle emissions influence SAF costs. As new production methods diversify feedstocks and scale up, costs may decrease, narrowing the price gap.

“The SAF industry is still developing, with the current leading technology, HEFA, dependent on a supply of used oils that are both in high demand and costly, leading to limited SAF availability and higher prices.”
