A new study by UK-based market analyst ID TechEx predicts that the global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market could reach $50 billion over the next decade. Production capacity of renewable diesel and SAF—which are closely linked in terms of processing—could exceed 67 million tonnes annually by 2036, it added.

Last year was a crucial one for SAF with the introduction of SAF-use mandates in the UK and EU, creating mandatory demand for the renewable fuel. Report author Eve Pope expects that demand will continue to rise as further decarbonization regulations are enacted.
