Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production is getting a much-needed boost in North America with separate agreements between producers and major aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus.
Both planemakers are promising to work on accelerating SAF development Airbus in Canada and Boeing on its home turf in the US.
Although electric and hybrid aircraft are being developed for short-haul travel, sustainable aviation fuels are a key to the aviation industry cutting its CO2 emissions and are seen as the best options for long-haul flight for several decades.
The fuels can offer a reduction of up to 80 percent in life-cycle carbon emissions but governments have been slow to join the program and restraints include a lack of production facilities and high prices.
