Airlines warn AI's renewable power appetite could slow SAF rollout Airlines warn rapid expansion of AI and data-centre power demand could siphon the renewable electricity needed to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), raising costs and delaying decarbonisation targets. Carriers say competition for clean power threatens the industry's ability to scale green-jet-fuel production at the pace regulators expect.
