Latest News- Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Market: Biofuel is expected to lead the Type segment during 2024-2028

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Market is being driven by Favorable government policies

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 75.62% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 5298.2 million. In the realm of sustainable energy solutions, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) emerges as a significant advancement in the aviation industry. Unlike first-generation biofuels derived from food sources like vegetable oil, starch, and sugar, SAF is produced from non-food feedstocks, such as wood waste, corn stover, and specific biomass plants including jatropha, camelina, and switchgrass. The evolution of biofuel technology has further progressed with the advent of third-generation biofuels derived from algae. These microorganisms offer numerous advantages, producing a diverse range of high-quality fuels, such as biodiesel, butanol, gasoline, methane, ethanol, jet fuels, and vegetable oil, surpassing the capabilities of other feedstocks.
