IATA: SAF output remains <1% of jet fuel use, underscoring supply-scale gap IATA says global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production volumes are still below 1% of total jet fuel consumption. The shortfall highlights the persistent gap between SAF scale-up plans and actual market availability—making decarbonization progress dependent on faster supply expansion and demand pull.
