Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF): A Practical Bridge to Aviation Decarbonization Amid SAF Scalability Challenges
While Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is aviation's long-term decarbonization solution, its near-term scalability constraints demand a pragmatic bridge. This article explores how Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF) — derived from conventional petroleum but produced with significantly reduced upstream carbon intensity — can deliver immediate, high-volume emissions reductions while next-generation fuel technologies mature.

The Horizon of High-Altitude Decarbonization: Analyzing the Scalability Challenges and Risks of Sustainable Aviation Fuel
With aviation committed to net-zero by 2050, SAF must scale from under 0.3% of jet fuel supply to majority market share. This analysis examines the structural bottlenecks—from the project realization gap and green premium economics to feedstock competition and infrastructure drag—that stand between political ambition and industrial reality.

ICAO CORSIA: Decarbonizing Global Aviation
CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) is the first global market-based measure for an entire industrial sector, developed by ICAO to address CO₂ emissions from international flights and support net-zero aviation by 2050.
