The Global SAF Market: Supply Chain and Distribution Challenges
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is increasingly recognized as a crucial solution to reduce aviation's carbon footprint.1However, scaling up SAF production and distribution presents significant challenges that must be addressed to ensure its widespread adoption.2
One of the primary challenges is the complex and fragmented nature of the SAF supply chain. The production of SAF involves multiple stages, including feedstock sourcing, conversion processes, blending with conventional jet fuel, and distribution to airports.3 Coordinating these various stages requires significant logistical expertise and collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
Another challenge is the limited availability of sustainable feedstocks.4 Currently, SAF production relies on a limited number of feedstocks, such as used cooking oil and agricultural waste. Expanding the feedstock base and developing advanced technologies to convert a wider range of feedstocks into SAF are essential to meet the growing demand.
Distribution and storage infrastructure also pose challenges. SAF needs to be transported and stored safely, often requiring specialized facilities.5 Additionally, integrating SAF into existing fuel distribution networks can be complex, as it may require modifications to pipelines and storage tanks.
To overcome these challenges, governments, industry stakeholders, and investors need to collaborate to develop robust supply chains and invest in research and development. By addressing these challenges, the global SAF market can grow and contribute to a more sustainable aviation industry.
