In China, Asia News Network reported that European aircraft manufacturer Airbus is willing to support China in building sustainable aviation fuel into an emerging industry, as it believes that the nation has all-around advantages in the development of SAF. Airbus said it will continue to strengthen cooperation with Chinese suppliers to promote the use of SAF to contribute to the sustainable growth of the aviation industry, according to the report. “SAF, as the biggest contributor, helps with the decarbonization of the aviation industry. Compared to fossil jet fuel, it can reduce 80 percent of carbon emissions on average in the entire SAF life cycle,” said Claire Kauffmann, head of SAF and carbon dioxide removal global ecosystem at Airbus. Kauffmann said that China has great advantages in the production of SAF, given its rich resources of feedstock and rapid development of renewable energy, the report added.
