Chile aims to start producing SAF in a large plant by 2030

In Chile, Reuters reported that Chile aims to start producing sustainable aviation fuel in a large plant by 2030 and use the fuel made from oils, fats, and biological and municipal waste for half of its aviation needs by 2050. The report noted that the “2050 SAF Roadmap” report was presented by Fernanda Cabañas, program coordinator for Chile’s public-private “Clean Flight” project that aims to decarbonize the country’s airline industry. Chile expects air traffic to double by 2040 and SAF is essential in helping the country meet its decarbonization goals, the report said. “More than 50% of carbon emissions reductions are going to be done through SAF,” Cabanas said.
