In the quest to shrink the outsized climate impact of air travel, airlines across the globe have vowed to consume vast quantities of greener jet fuel. But most airlines are lagging far behind their pledges, according to a Bloomberg Green analysis of corporate environmental filings for 2023.
Although many airlines have promised to get at least 10 percent of their propellant from cleaner sources by the end of the decade, the use of sustainable aviation fuel, or “SAF,” grew from 0.04 percent of global aviation fuel in 2021 to 0.17 percent in 2023, according to estimates from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
