IATA estimates global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production will reach 2.4 million tonnes in 2026, which would account for about 0.8% of airlines’ fuel consumption, and airlines are spending USD 4.3 billion on SAF this year.
Corporate purchases are expected to support between 1.0 million and 1.9 million tonnes of SAF in 2030, up from 323,000 tonnes in 2024, with prices per tonne of CO₂e avoided ranging from USD 150 to USD 500 and companies indicating a willingness to pay around USD 300; the CADO SAF Registry, launched by IATA and run from 2025 by the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization, will enable registration, transfer and claim of SAF attributes under a book‑and‑claim scheme, involving more than 140 organisations, with airlines accounting for roughly 53% of certificate sales.
