Gazprom Neft tests what it says is Russia's first SAF in ground-based engine runs

Gazprom Neft says it has completed ground-based engine runs using a low‑carbon fuel it describes as Russia's first sustainable aviation fuel. The product is synthesized from renewable organic feedstocks including waste frying oil and animal fats; company reported rig testing though flight verification details were not disclosed.

African carriers doubt a continent-wide SAF surge as supply, cost and refuelling gaps persist African airlines are cautious about expectations of a continent-wide sustainable aviation fuel boom, citing limited feedstock and production capacity, high prices versus conventional jet fuel, and sparse distribution and airport refuelling infrastructure — barriers that could slow regional SAF uptake and decarbonisation plans.

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.

SAF and new‑aircraft shortages threaten aviation’s net‑zero push; ICAO calls for cooperative sourcing Shortages of fuel‑efficient new aircraft and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are squeezing supply, lifting supplier margins and threatening aviation's net‑zero 2050 goal, IATA warned. ICAO urged cooperative global action—warning against treating developing states as feedstock suppliers—while IATA’s resolution is driving SAF investment and certification momentum.

IATA's Net Zero by 2050 judged 'beyond reach' — R&D and SAF efforts continue IATA's 2021 Net Zero by 2050 target is now judged beyond reach, Leeham News reports, as technological and feedstock constraints undercut the industry's decarbonisation trajectory. Airlines, OEMs and fuel producers continue R&D and sustainable aviation fuel deployment even as timelines and mandates are reassessed.

Boeing and Technion to develop SAF from green hydrogen and CO2 to support aviation’s 2050 decarbonization Boeing and Israel’s Technion have launched a collaboration to develop sustainable aviation fuel produced from green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide, aiming to support aviation’s 2050 decarbonization goal. The programme will explore power‑to‑liquid pathways to scale feedstock diversity and support long‑term sector growth.
