SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL IS OUR PATHWAY TO NET-ZERO

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Global passenger air travel accounts for 2.5 percent of fuel combustion-related carbon dioxide emissions.

(SAF) Sustainable alternative jet fuel results in a 19% decrease in PM2.5 damages per ton of fuel burned and a 2% decrease in total damages per ton of fuel burned as compared to damages from traditional jet fuel.

SAF Rules of Thumb

As part of work on SAF projections, CAEP experts from Washington State University, supported by experts from Hasselt University developed a set of heuristics or "Rules of Thumb" for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that could be utilized to make order of magnitude estimations related to SAF costs, investment needs and production potential that could inform policymakers and project developers.

What share of global CO₂ emissions come from aviation?

Aviation accounts for 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions. But it has contributed around 4% to global warming to date. Flying is one of the most carbon-intensive activities — yet it contributes just 2.5% of the world’s carbon emissions. How does this add up? Well, almost everyone in the world does not fly. Studies estimate that just 10% of the world flies in most years.1 But as incomes rise, this will change.

Technology

Increased demand and technological improvements have driven the change in aviation emissions over the last half-century. Total CO2 emissions are often explained through the “Kaya identity” — how many people there are, their income, the energy efficiency of economies, and the carbon intensity of energy. We can use a similar framework to understand the drivers of aviation emissions.

Efficiency

Efficiency has improved, but increasing global demand has led to higher emissions To calculate carbon emissions from aviation, we need to know three metrics: Aviation demand: How many passenger and freight kilometers; Energy efficiency: How much energy is used per kilometer; Carbon intensity: What fuel is being used, which tells us the carbon emitted per unit of energy. Multiply these metrics together, and we get carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Sustainability

That’s the sudden drop in international and domestic transport during the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand is rebounding quickly and is expected to reach pre-pandemic levels again this year. Between 1990 and 2019, both passenger and freight demand has approximately quadrupled.

Risk Mitigation

The carbon intensity of that fuel — how much CO2 is emitted per unit — has not changed at all. We used standard jet fuel in 1990 and are using the same stuff today. It has not gotten any cleaner. Biofuels and other alternatives are just a tiny fraction of global demand.

Non-CO2 climate impact

Non-CO2 climate impacts mean aviation accounts for around 4% of global warming to date While aviation accounts for around 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, its overall contribution to climate change is higher. Along with emitting CO2 from burning fuel, planes also affect the concentration of other atmospheric gases and pollutants. They generate a short-term increase but a long-term decrease in ozone and methane and increased emissions of water vapor, soot, sulfur aerosols, and water contrails. While some of these impacts result in warming, others induce a cooling effect. But overall, the warming effect is stronger.

Key Points.
Aviation is 7% of UK greenhouse gas emissions (and rising).
SAF reduces CO 2 by 70% compared to Fossil Fuel Kerosene.
With CCUS, the Carbon Intensity (CI) profile of SAF is c. -144g/MJ,
ensuring flights are carbon neutral on a 50% fuel load.

________________
There is a recognised shortage of SAF and the UK Govt’s new
10 Point Plan recognises the UK needs its own production capability.

________________
Passenger growth and climate change emphasise the need for
the aviation industry to focus their efforts on sustainability.

________________
Recent offtake agreements for the fuel produced by the
prospective Bayou Fuels plant will avoid 1.3m tonnes of CO2
a year otherwise emitted, underscoring the role that SAF will
play in decarbonising the aviation sector and the journey to
a net-zero economy.

_________________
This deeply negative CI score is the lowest in the SAF industry.
_________________
Hydrogen/Electric planes are not commercially viable, so SAF
made from biomass and household/commercial waste is,
at present, the only option to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint.

_________________
Expected SAF demand is exponential. Based on proposed
mandates in Europe, and US incentives, SAF is set to increase to
3.7bn liters pa from 2025, rising to 77.6bn liters pa by 2040
(or 600 plants equivalent).
_______________
The typical life of a SAF plant is c.25 years.

SUPPLY DEMAND SURGING THRU 2050

THE SUPPLY / DEMAND SURGE

To date, most of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) activity has
taken place in Europe and the United States, but there are a few
new kids on the SAF block. Since the beginning of 2023, Asia
Pacific has seen a surge in SAF announcements.
 SINGAPORE – Compulsory blending of SAF to begin 2026
 THAILAND – In September 2023, Thai Airways announced it
will gradually increase SAF use from 2% by 2025 to 60% by
2050.
 JAPAN – In May 2023 the government confirmed that, by 2030,
10% of aviation fuel used for international flights at Japanese
airports will have to be SAF.
 NEW ZEALAND – in June 2023 the carrier and the government
committed NZ$2m to further investigate the possibility of SAF
production in New Zealand.

COMPLETE CERTIFICATION
SAF Fuel Certification is Mandatory. Compliance with ASTM has
two tracks.
 FAST TRACK is a 2 year cycle which allows 1% blending
 NORMAL is a -4 year cycle which allows 10-50% blending.

SECURE FEEDSTOCK AVAILABILITY
KORAT – Major Sugar Cane, Rice & Cassava crop
Suphan Buri – Rice, Sugar Cane, central logistics hub
Ratchaburi – Rice, Sugar Cane. Proximity to Bangkok
These provinces are the regions in Thailand with significant
agricultural activity and potential biomass resources for SAF
production. Collaboration among local governments, agricultural
stakeholders, industry players, and research institutions can help
unlock the full potential of Thailand’s agricultural waste for
sustainable aviation fuel initiatives.

MANAGE PRODUCT COSTS
Globally, the average price of SAF was estimated to be around
$2,400 per metric ton in 2022. This price is approximately 2.5
times higher than that of conventional jet fuel. Prices can
fluctuate based on supply chain factors, feedstock availability,
and regional production capabilities

INCREASE BLEND RATIO
The Blend ratio is directly tied to two factors:
 Certification
 Fuel Quality

SOLUTION

CREATE THE RIGHT SUPPLY
Just meeting the demand is not good enough. The Product Quality is critical to the market
buy-in. The objective is to use a 200 tpd plasma gasification unit that can generate
approximately 300,000 Nm3 of syngas per day., The Fischer-Tropsch process typically will
converts syngas to hydrocarbons with an efficiency of about 60-70%. With added Hydrogen,
we can produce a Premium Quality SAF equivalent to 156 Metric Tons per day
 

OUR PROCESS

BEST OF BREED
By combining Plasma Gasification with the Fischer-Tropsch process, we have created a
Best Of Breed solution that will generate a Premium Product . The addition of Hydrogen
guarantees precise Hydrocarbon chains most closely similar to JET-A1 Fuel. This assures
a high degree of blending and market acceptance.

QUICK TO MARKET
To capitalize on the market demand, one of our
goals was to create a quality Premium Product that
would pass its Certification tests and be available
for blending, Standard certification takes 4 years
and cannot be rushed for safety reasons

CERTIFIED & SAFE
There are two certification paths required
 ASTM D7566: FOR SAF PRODUCTION PATHWAYS
 ASTM D4054: THE EVALUATION PROCESS FOR SAF

The Third ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3) adopted a new ICAO Global Framework for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), Lower Carbon Aviation Fuels (LCAF) and other Aviation Cleaner Energies, by which ICAO and its Member States have agreed to strive to achieve a collective global aspirational Vision to reduce CO2 emissions in international aviation by 5 per cent by 2030, compared to zero cleaner energy use. 
 
Key elements of the Framework include a collective Vision for the clean energy transition, harmonized regulatory foundations, supporting implementation initiatives, and improved access to financing for related initiatives so that “No Country is Left Behind.”
