IATA study: Technology rollout, not feedstock, is the main barrier to scaling SAF for 2050 net‑zero

A new IATA–Worley study finds sufficient sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstock exists to enable the industry to reach net‑zero CO2 by 2050, but concludes that technology deployment — not feedstock availability — is the principal bottleneck to scaling SAF production, with direct consequences for investment, policy and industrialisation timelines.

IATA/Worley: feedstock is sufficient for SAF to 2050 — technology and infrastructure are the choke points A joint IATA and Worley Consulting study finds global feedstock is sufficient to produce the sustainable aviation fuel required for airlines to reach net‑zero by 2050, but the report identifies slow deployment of conversion technologies and production infrastructure as the primary barrier and urges targeted investment.

South Korea mandates 1% SAF on international flights from 2027; Korean Air scales domestic SAF use on Japan routes South Korea has published a multi‑phase SAF roadmap that mandates a 1% sustainable aviation fuel blend on international flights from 2027. Korean Air is already expanding use of domestically produced SAF — introducing 1% blends on select Kobe and Osaka services after Incheon–Haneda trials.

Global aviation leaders warn SAF policy shortfalls threaten scale-up Industry leaders warned that current sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) policies are inadequate to stimulate the scale‑up needed to meet aviation’s near‑ and long‑term emissions targets. They urged clearer mandates, stronger investment signals and trade measures to unlock production and feedstock supply.
