If you need to get from SA (on one side of the world) to the US (on the other side of the world), there is only one effective way to get there: plane. There is no other efficient way for any of us to travel around the world outside of a plane. Cars are too time consuming and don’t go everywhere. Trains are also limited by the rail networks they exist on. Boats are too slow, and equally (and often more) polluting than planes. To fly is arguably the best and most efficient way for us to get around the world. That’s not going to change in a hurry. However, with global decarbonisation efforts, airlines will need to ensure their planes are more environmentally friendly – and at the same time – economically viable. Enter SAF biofuel.
