Sewage-to-Jet: Airlines eye waste-derived SAF to bolster feedstock supply

Airlines are exploring converting sewage and other municipal waste into sustainable aviation fuel after a process that turns waste into oil showed potential to expand feedstock supply. Carriers view 'sewage-to-jet' as a complementary route to help meet net‑zero targets while SAF availability still lags demand.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • New waste‑to‑oil processes could unlock a large new feedstock stream and help relieve the sector's constrained SAF supply.
  • Waste‑derived SAF would complement regional scaling efforts and public–private accelerators already targeting SAF capacity growth (see the Cascadia SAF Accelerator and other waste‑feedstock initiatives in Africa).
  • For airlines, cheaper, scalable feedstocks are critical to meeting net‑zero commitments as current production and policy support remain insufficient to satisfy industry demand (see recent SAF forecasts and demand shortfalls: IATA/market analysis).
