Boeing has launched “SAF Dashboard,” a tool to track expected sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) capacity over the next decade. The tool is accessible on Boeing’s new “Sustainable Aerospace Together” hub.
“Based on data collected by BloombergNEF [New Energy Finance], the dashboard aggregates total SAF capacity announcements by suppliers on a global scale and can filter anticipated supply by production pathway, location, and other metrics,” Boeing said on Tuesday.
The release of the tool at the 2023 Paris Airshow is meant to support discussion and action among industry stakeholders regarding the existing SAF footprint as well as future production levels required to meet the commercial aviation industry’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
“SAF reduces CO2 emissions by up to 85 percent and possibly more over the fuel’s life cycle, offering the greatest potential to decarbonize aviation over the next 30 years,” said Boeing chief sustainability officer Chris Raymond. “SAF Dashboard portrays the data visually as our industry works together across sectors to increase SAF production for a more sustainable aerospace future.”
In May, Boeing launched a public version of its “Cascade” Climate Impact Model, a data modeling tool that identifies the effects of a range of sustainability solutions to reduce aviation’s carbon emissions.
“Boeing’s diverse team is committed to innovating for the future, leading with sustainability, and cultivating a culture based on the company’s core values of safety, quality, and integrity,” the company said.
