IATA: SAF production hits ~2.4m tonnes in 2026—only 0.8% of jet fuel, forcing a rethink of the 2050 net-zero timeline IATA says global Sustainable Aviation Fuel output will reach about 2.4 million tonnes in 2026, equivalent to just 0.8% of aviation fuel use—at an estimated $4.3 billion cost burden for airlines. IATA chief Willie Walsh warns “hope” for 2050 net zero is “fading fast” as production, refinery-backed supply and carbon-credit access lag targets.

Japan mobilizes cooking-oil feedstock to scale eco-friendly SAF production Japan is stepping up efforts to produce sustainable aviation fuel by ramping up processing of used cooking oil for jet fuel. The move targets increased domestic SAF supply using a household-waste feedstock stream—an approach aimed at reducing reliance on constrained SAF markets as industry economics remain sensitive to feedstock and supply availability.
