Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can be classified in the group of biofuels, and it has the same characteristics as conventional jet fuel but with a much lower carbon footprint. Having a lower carbon intensity, SAF gives airlines an important solution for minimizing aviation greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) that account for 9 to 12 percent of all GHGs in the U.S.
