What Happened

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supply Chain Expansion

The sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) movement has emphasized the importance of diversifying feedstocks to enable the use of locally available resources and reduce dependence on oil-producing regions. According to Graham Warwick, a single feedstock currently dominates SAF production, highlighting the need for alternative pathways to support the growth of SAF supply. This article, available to Aviation Week & Space Technology and AWIN subscribers, explores the critical role of feedstock diversification in expanding SAF production, as reported by Aviation Week.
