Intermediate & Degraded Land Crops No “Miracle” Solution for SAF, New Study Shows
- •A new study indicates that intermediate and degraded land crops can only supply 4% of the EU's bio-SAF demand by 2050, significantly limiting their role as a primary 'green' feedstock.
- •This limitation suggests continued high demand and potentially higher prices for other SAF feedstocks or production methods (e.g., e-fuels, waste-to-fuel), impacting aviation decarbonization costs.
- •The findings could prompt EU policymakers to diversify SAF feedstock strategies or increase support for alternative SAF pathways, influencing investment in renewable energy sources like green hydrogen for e-fuels.
