The aviation industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward sustainability, with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) emerging as a key solution. As global emissions regulations tighten, airlines in Dubai and worldwide are investing in SAF to reduce carbon footprints. Derived from renewable sources like waste oils and agricultural residues, SAF can cut emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.
Dubai, a global aviation hub, is at the forefront of this transition. The UAE’s National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Roadmap aims to supply 1 billion gallons of SAF annually by 2030, with major airlines like Emirates committing to SAF adoption. This aligns with Dubai’s 2050 Carbon Neutrality Strategy, positioning the city as a leader in green aviation.
However, Jet A-1 fuel remains dominant in 2024, with prices fluctuating due to geopolitical tensions and oil supply disruptions. The Middle East, a critical supplier, faces volatility from OPEC+ decisions and regional conflicts, impacting airline operating costs. Analysts predict a 5-10% price increase for Jet A-1 this year, urging carriers to hedge fuel risks.
