Sustainable Aviation Fuels for Air Transportation Decarbonization

TotalEnergies


Executive Summary


Energy is an essential resource, everywhere indispensable for living. With the global population expected to grow by almost 2 billion by 2050, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of a decarbonized energy system while maintaining the current energy system to meet global demand and ensure a just, orderly and equitable transition.


The aviation industry faces a considerable challenge to decarbonize itself, due to its growth and the current maturity and cost of low-carbon technologies. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are anticipated to be the primary method for reducing air transportation emissions by 2050, provided that effective policies and regulations are put in place.


TotalEnergies aims to become a major player in SAF production. The Company is involved in various projects and partnerships to produce SAF from waste and residues, one of them in China.
