by Sustainable aviation fuel, also known as biofuel, is an alternative to jet fuel that is produced from sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oil, animal fats, and plant-based oils. Key advantages of sustainable aviation fuel are significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel dependency of the aviation sector. With growing air traffic and need to achieve carbon emission targets, sustainable aviation fuels are increasingly gaining traction.
The global Sustainable Aviation Fuel Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 853.36 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 19.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends
Increased government support through policies and investments is a major trend spurring growth of the sustainable aviation fuel market. Many countries and international agencies are offering incentives and funds for research, production and use of sustainable aviation fuels. For instance, the US Department of Energy recently announced a funding of $40 million for four sustainable aviation fuel research and development projects. The European Commission also aims to facilitate incorporation of 2 million tons of sustainable aviation fuels annually by 2030 through its ReFuelEU initiative. Growing government support is encouraging private sector investments and ramping up production capacities of sustainable aviation fuels across major economies. This is expected to significantly boost market growth over the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
