In the UK, Jet2.com began using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on flights from Bristol Airport earlier this year.
The airline purchased over 300 tonnes of SAF from Q8Aviation, which has been used to add a 1% SAF blend on to a number of departing flights from the West Country airport.
Elsewhere in Europe, Sasol and Topsoe announced the successful launch of their joint venture, Zaffra.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has made new estimates for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
In summary the headline figures include:
• SAF volumes reached over 600 million litres (0.5Mt) in 2023, double the 300 million litres (0.25 Mt) produced the year before.
• SAF accounted for 3% of all renewable fuels produced with 97% of renewable fuel production…

ePURE members and other European producers of renewable ethanol produced 5.08 million tonnes (6.4 billion litres) of ethanol and 6.5 million tonnes of food and feed co-products, including high-protein animal feed – in other words, more food than fuel – in 2023, when these figures were last correlated by ePURE.
All of the crops used were grown by European farmers. Eighty-six percent of the…

Ethanol in North America is a highly policy-driven industry, both domestically and internationally — a fact evident from the benefits now flowing from E15-based expansion in selected US states, to a policy pathway for E10–E20 progression in Japan.
At a time when the global market for ethanol — and much else — is volatile and uncertain, the industry has plenty to celebrate, albeit with…

HVO and SAF have led headlines in recent years, fostering a boom in renewable fuels reminiscent of the biodiesel boom of the early 2000s. In many ways, the biodiesel and ethanol industries paved a path for HVO, SAF and other next generation biofuels to find quick success.
Governmental regulations, subsidies and incentives have provided a crucial driving force for biofuels producers to develop…

Protecting the biodiesel industry from threats that come from outside the EU has become almost as important for the biofuels industry as advocating for better policies within the EU.
Around 10 or 15 years was a time when the European Biodiesel Board (EBB) started to make use of EU trade defence instruments, to ensure that trade was not only free but also fair. The EBB used to consider trade…

The aviation industry has always been a cornerstone of global connectivity, enabling the movement of people, goods and ideas across borders.
However, this essential sector is also one of the fastest-growing contributors to global carbon emissions, accounting for approximately 2.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
As the world continues its transition to a net-zero economy, the…

Flights are set to be greener as the UK’s ambitious sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate officially came into force on New Year’s Day.
SAF is made from sustainable sources and by law, this type of fuel must now make up at least 2% of all jet fuel in flights taking off from the UK from 2025, growing year-on-year to 10% by 2030 and 22% by 2040.
These ambitious but achievable targets…
