One such effort involves the use of so-called ‘sustainable aviation fuel’ (SAF), a mixture of biofuels and petroleum-derived jet fuel. The biofuel element of SAFs is commonly made from crops and are thought to have a lower life-cycle carbon footprint than conventional jet fuel because the crops absorb CO2 when they’re grown.
