Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Cleaner Flights for the Planet

SAF is a revolutionary alternative that reduces carbon emissions in aviation. Developed from renewable raw materials like biomass and organic waste, SAF is compatible with aircraft engines without requiring modifications. In collaboration with Alder Renewables, Energy Developments leads initiatives to produce SAF on a large scale, contributing to the decarbonization of the aviation industry. This fuel can reduce emissions by up to 80%, promoting a cleaner future for aviation while driving job creation in the renewable energy sector and strengthening energy security.

  • - SAF usage has the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional fossil fuels, significantly decreasing the aviation industry's carbon footprint.  
  • - Commercial aviation accounts for approximately 2-3% of global CO₂ emissions, and SAF is crucial for reducing this figure over the next decade as airlines seek sustainable solutions.  
  • SAF production capacity is expected to grow by 30% annually over the next decade to meet the increasing demand for sustainable fuel and fulfill the industry's climate commitments.  
  • The global SAF market is estimated to reach a value of $15 billion by 2030, driven by government environmental policies and partnerships with renewable energy companies.  
  • Unlike other alternative fuels, SAF is compatible with current aircraft engines, requiring no technological modifications, enabling an economical and practical transition in the short term.  
  • By 2050, SAF could supply up to 65% of the total commercial aviation fuel demand if investments and renewable energy infrastructure projections are met.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is presented as an innovative solution to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector, responsible for approximately 2-3% of global CO₂ emissions. Produced from renewable feedstocks such as biomass and organic waste, SAF can be directly integrated into current aircraft engines without the need for technological modifications, facilitating its adoption in the industry.

Alder Renewables, a leader in the United States and a strategic ally of Energy Developments, has developed advanced technologies for the production of PBS. Its Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) platform converts sustainable biomass into renewable fuels, including PBS, through processes that minimize environmental impact. This collaboration enables Energy Developments to implement state-of-the-art PBS solutions globally.

The use of PBS can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional fossil fuels. This significant decrease is due to the life cycle of PBS, which captures carbon during the growth of the feedstocks used in its production. Although global production of PBS is still limited, annual growth of 30% is expected over the next decade, an essential expansion to meet international climate targets.

In addition to the environmental impact, the PAS offers economic and energy security benefits. By diversifying fuel sources and reducing dependence on oil, it promotes job creation in the renewable energy sector and encourages investment in clean technologies. Energy Developments, in partnership with Alder Renewables, is working with airlines, governments and organizations to build a robust supply chain to ensure the availability of AFS on a global scale.

The implementation of PAS also contributes to price stability in the aviation sector by mitigating the volatility associated with fossil fuels. This allows airlines to plan their

operations and costs with greater certainty, benefiting both the industry and consumers. Energy Developments and Alder Renewables are committed to the research and development of technologies that optimize the production and use of PBS. This includes the improvementof biomass conversion processes and the implementation of monitoring systems that maximize the performance of PBS and minimize its environmental impact.

In a world increasingly aware of climate change, PBS represents a unique opportunity for aviation. Energy Developments, together with its strategic ally Alder Renewables, is

committed to the expansion of this technology, enabling the aviation industry to move towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. With SAF, aviation is moving closer to a cleaner and more sustainable future, and Energy Developments is proud to lead this change.
