CWR’s Sustainable Aviation Fuels Operation:
The goal of Carbon War Room's Sustainable Aviation Fuel Operation is to drive a sustainable reduction in the industry's carbon footprint by accelerating the displacement of conventional Jet-A fuel with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The Operation currently focuses on building industry support for airport-level SAF blending requirements, and the development of a local ecosystem to provide the fuel consistently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. In the near term, the price gap will be covered by either a local government grant, a landing fee applied to airline customers, or other funding, but over time as the industry scales, the gap will be reduced.
The Operation will work towards three overarching impact goals. By 2025:
- represents SAF represents 10% of the North American and European commercial aviation jet fuel market, resulting in a CO2 reduction of 20 million tonnes annually
- 250,000,000 commercial aviation passengers per year are flying in planes that use a blend of sustainable aviation fuel
- Industry-wide incentives and mandates lead to greater economies of scale, resulting in the elimination of the cost gap between SAF and Jet-A
By 2018 the following outcomes, directly traceable to CWR’s efforts, will be achieved:
- SAF is being blended into the Jet-A fuel supply at three major airports at approximately 10% blending ratio. All commercial planes refueling at the airports receive the blended fuel. Policies/processes are established to recover the cost premium via an airline neutral approach such as landing fees.
- Reliable, cost effective SAF supply chains meet this new demand for sustainable aviation fuel
- 4–6 airports are evaluating equally ambitious plans to require and support SAF-blended fuel
