When SAF is used instead of traditional jet fuel, it leads to a reduction in carbon emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In simple terms, SAF is generated from renewable feedstocks. Like used cooking oil, animal waste fat, and solid waste from homes and businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has recognized SAF as a potential alternative to conventional kerosene as it can potentially reduce carbon emissions throughout its lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Air](\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AIRINDIAEXPRESS_AW_DRURUN_08-MAR-e1682760957880-1024x449.png\")
