Clean Fuels in the Aviation Sector

Aviation contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, and sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) offer a promising pathway to decarbonize the industry. However, despite their potential, SAFs currently make up less than 0.1% of global aviation fuel. This background report, the first sector-specific background report released by CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP) as part of its inaugural Clean Fuels Week, is part of an initiative developing market-based accounting guidelines for clean fuels.
