Aviation’s transition is inextricably linked to the broader global #energy shift, whose success depends on multiple solutions working together. Sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF) is crucial for aviation’s energy transition, yet its production accounts for less than 1% of aviation’s fuel needs in 2024. Public sector support is essential to scale SAF production but the latest research from IATA highlights a critical challenge regarding the availability of such support. IATA reviewed around 140 public financial aid programs supporting #sustainable technologies such as advanced #biofuels. Some of the key insights include: ▶ Public Sector Support: Essential for scaling up SAF production. When policymakers lead, private investments follow. ▶ Global Funding: Only 11% of public funds tracked are available for advanced biofuels, including SAF. The US leads with 65% of global public funding, although more than half of this is through guarantees. ▶ Regional Disparities: The European Union contributes 13% of global public funding, focusing on grants and market mechanisms. Other regions, despite having abundant SAF feedstock, remain significantly underfunded.
