IATA Revises Down SAF Estimates as Projects Make Slow Progress

The International Air Transport Association revised down its estimates for the production of sustainable aviation fuel after finding that projects are so far failing to deliver fast enough.

In a briefing at its annual meeting in Dubai, IATA said that it now sees 51 million tons of cumulative renewable fuel capacity by 2030, down from the 63 million tons it initially estimated in December. IATA made the adjustment after examining projects it tracks and finding many of them aren’t where they need to be to produce sufficient fuel by the end of the decade.
