Use of eSAF Signals a New Dawn in SAF Availability

Flying on fuel which conforms to ASTM D7566.A1 is nothing new. However the source of the fuel is what's interesting. The majority of SAF available in the market today is derived from the HEFA pathway - which uses feedstocks such as Used Cooking Oil or Animal Fats. Whilst demonstration flights have been conducted, the use of eSAF for commercial flights is the signals the start of a new stream of production, with many FT based plants in development the volumes of eSAF will start to exponentially increase over the next 10 years and enable the Aviation industry to reach its decarbonisation goals.

American Airlines and Infinium today announced its first delivery of electro sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) to a commercial airport for use in a commercial passenger flight, marking a major milestone in the decarbonization of aviation. The eSAF was allocated to an American flight that departed Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP) and landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), demonstrating the real-world deployment of next-generation, drop-in sustainable aviation fuel.
