"Airlines Push for Sustainable Fuel to Cut Carbon Emissions"
TL;DR
The aviation industry is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and is exploring sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made from used cooking oil and bioenergy crops. Despite being more expensive, SAF is gaining traction as airlines aim for net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Efforts include refining cooking oil and developing bioenergy crops like miscanthus giganteus, though challenges remain in scaling production and infrastructure.
