PRESS BRIEFING: SAF, Best Use of Resources, and Economy-Wide Decarbonisation
Join AEF for an exclusive media briefing with Matt Finch of Ecomatters Consulting, author of AEF’s latest report. We are asking a vital question in the context of SAF and aviation decarbonisation: just because a waste product can be turned into jet fuel — should it be?
AEF’s new report, 'The Best Use of Scarce Materials: Is SAF the Most Efficient Path to Economy-Wide Decarbonisation?' challenges policymakers to take a broader view of how we use limited feedstocks. Should additional renewable energy be channelled into the energy-intensive production of e-fuels, or used to decarbonise home heating? Is food waste better composted and used as green gas in the grid, or turned into jet fuel?
This timely report explores these critical trade-offs and reveals that, based on today’s assumptions, jet fuel is not the most environmentally effective use of any of the feedstocks examined — though this could change in the future.
