Boeing Announces New Sustainable Aviation Fuel Dashboard Tool

Boeing announced the launch of a new SAF Dashboard tool that tracks expected sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) capacity over the next decade.

Based on data collected by BloombergNEF, the dashboard aggregates total SAF capacity announcements by suppliers globally and can filter anticipated supply by production pathway, location and other metrics.

The tool is accessible on Boeing’s new Sustainable Aerospace Together hub.

Boeing released the tool during the 2023 Paris Air Show, highlighting the dashboard’s ability to track 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,” Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Raymond said.

“SAF Dashboard portrays the data visually as our industry works together across sectors to increase SAF production for a more sustainable aerospace future,” Raymond continued.

In May, the company announced the release of a data modeling tool, dubbed the Boeing Cascade Climate Impact Model, to help support commercial aviation’s path toward net zero carbon emissions.

The Cascade tool identifies the effects of a range of sustainability solutions to reduce aviation’s carbon emissions and is accessible on the airplane manufacturer’s new Sustainable Aerospace Together hub.

Data modeling examines the complete life cycle of alternate energy sources for aviation and measures fleet renewal, operational efficiency, renewable energy sources, future aircraft and market-based measures as pathways to decarbonization.
