As the world looks for different ways to reduce carbon footprint, the aviation industry is also taking steps toward de-carbonization. Advanced biofuels are a promising solution, so here's what you want to know about the latest updates and future outlook of decarbonizing the aviation industry.
What is the Advanced Biofuels Forum?
The Advanced Biofuels Forum (ABF) is a global initiative that brings stakeholders in the aviation enterprise to promote and accelerate the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is biofuel crafted from renewable resources, including agricultural waste, municipal waste, and plant-based oils. It will reduce carbon footprints by as much as 80% compared to regular aviation fuel.
Why is the Advanced Biofuels Forum Important for Decarbonization?
Aviation enterprises account for about 2% of worldwide greenhouse fuel emissions, expected to grow as air travel keeps growing. The Advanced Biofuels Forum performs a vital role in decarbonizing the enterprise by promoting and supporting the use of sustainable aviation fuel.
What are the Goals of the Advanced Biofuels Forum?
The principal intention of ABF is to boost the commercial deployment of SAF globally. This includes promoting stakeholder collaboration, advocating for supportive guidelines, and sharing best practices.
What Are Some Recent Updates from the Advanced Biofuels Forum?
-
In March 2021, ABF released its first state-of-the-art biojet refinery in Europe, which can produce up to 20 million liters of SAF per year.
-
ABF also posted a report in collaboration with the European Commission, highlighting the ability of sustainable aviation fuels to reduce carbon emissions and create jobs in Europe.
What Are Some Future Outlooks for Decarbonizing Aviation?
-
Developing advanced biofuels is predicted to create new jobs and improve economic growth in agriculture and forestry.
-
With increasing help from governments and industry leaders, sustainable aviation fuel production is projected to attain 50 million tonnes by 2050, which would lessen carbon emissions by up to 324 megatonnes.
How Can I Get Involved in the Advanced Biofuels Forum
-
Partner with ABF to promote sustainable aviation fuel and recommend supportive policies for your region.
