In a recent The Wall Street Journal article, John Dees, Carbon Direct's senior decarbonization scientist, discusses the challenges posed by differing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) standards between the U.S. and Europe. While Europe is moving away from crop-based feedstocks, the U.S. continues to include them, creating significant uncertainty for airlines and investors trying to navigate these conflicting regulations.
As Dees points out, this lack of alignment is causing confusion and hesitation in the market, making it difficult for businesses to confidently invest in SAF. Global consensus on what qualifies as "sustainable" is crucial for advancing the aviation industry's decarbonization efforts and ensuring robust investments in #SAF.
