| The aviation is under a constant pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Among many different measures available nowadays, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is seen as a promising solution to reduce the environmental impact of aviation. While there are challenges to its widespread adoption, ongoing advancements in technology, supportive policies, and industry collaboration are paving the way for a more sustainable future in aviation. As the sector continues to innovate and scale up SAF production, it will play a crucial role in achieving global carbon reduction targets and promoting sustainable air travel. However, given the fuel costs still contribute a substantial amount in airline's total operating costs, the high cost of SAF could become a main obstacle in large scale application.
The project aims to assess the practical application of the SAF from an airline point of view. The specific objectives are: 1. Identify a single airline and examine its network 2. Identify the airports in the network which offer the possibility of purchasing SAFs 3. Extract the information about SAF prices at different airports 4. Assess the potential quantity which can be fuelled by SAF 5. Assess the implication of the SAF used on the airline's costs |
