Abstract

ABSTRACT Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) refers to a blended end product consisting of conventional Jet A-1 and aviation biofuel which conforms to applicable DEFSTAN 91-91 specifications for use in jet aircraft. SAF represents one of the most promising means by which the aviation industry could substantially reduce emissions, address fuel costs and price volatility and still continue to enjoy growth. To better understand the issues affecting SAF uptake within Australia, a case study was conducted at Darwin International Airport aimed at identifying all the relevant stakeholders (end users and fuel wholesalers), soliciting their views and positions on SAF uptake, and considering how the introduction of SAF might impact the supply and distribution infrastructure. The insights gained from this study will be broadly applicable to other monitored Australian airports since the on-airport jet fuel infrastructure, supply and distribution models that exist at Darwin are mirrored throughout Australia.
