(Environmental and Energy Study Institute) Briefing Series: By Air, Land, and Sea: Navigating the Climate Future The
Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing series on climate mitigation and adaptation in the transportation sector. The series covered ports, aviation, and public transit.
As commercial aviation recovers from the COVID-19 contraction, it will be critical to foster strategies and policy to help the industry reduce its climate impact. In this briefing, we examined two of these strategies sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and aircraft technology improvements.
Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA) delivered opening remarks.
Chris Tindal of the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) addressed the potential of low-carbon sustainable aviation fuels with life-cycle emissions substantially below conventional fossil-based jet fuel and the policy formula for scaling up the SAF industry.
by Jeff Overton (Environmental and Energy Study Institute) As the aviation industry recovers from the severe contraction caused by the pandemic, sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) will be essential to help the sector achieve a path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Sustainable “drop-in” fuels, which can be used with existing fueling infrastructure and with no changes required for aircraft fuel systems or engines, are currently being deployed. However, SAF currently accounts for less than one percent of U.S. and global commercial aviation fuel consumption. In 2019, the U.S. commercial aviation industry consumed 18.3 billion gallons of jet fuel (taking into account both domestic and international scheduled traffic) and used approximately 2.4 million gallons of SAF.
