The aviation industry needs more sustainable fuel. Neste’s Jauhiainen explains what needs to be done

One critical enabler to decarbonising the aircraft sector is the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said the greener fuel could contribute 65% of the reduction in emissions for the industry's 2050 net zero goals. However, production barely meets 1% of the total fuel needs today. Mr Sami Jauhiainen, vice president for renewable aviation at Neste, the world’s biggest producer of SAF, tells CNA’s Roland Lim what is needed for a massive ramp up.
