In China, Economic Daily reports Deloitte China, the Beijing Energy Society and Longji Energy Group have released a report arguing that biomass based diesel, green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel offer one of the few near term routes to cut emissions from aviation and shipping without replacing existing fuel infrastructure. The two sectors emit more than 1.9 billion tonnes of carbon annually, and their combined green fuel demand is projected to reach 34 million tonnes by 2030.
Supply is far behind. The report expects global SAF production of about 2.4 million tonnes in 2026, less than 0.8% of aviation fuel use. China, however, has potential annual capacity exceeding 20 million tonnes of green ammonia, 50 million tonnes of green methanol and 8 million tonnes of SAF.
The report proposes coordinated feedstock collection, Book and Claim trading, diversified financing and China Certified Emission Reductions carbon credits to help turn that potential capacity into commercial fuel supply.
