Aviation Biofuel Market Trends
- Increasing Need for Reduction In GHG Emissions In The Aviation Industry Boosts Market Growth
Aviation biofuel is introduced as a substitute for conventional petroleum fuels. Fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases when burnt, and these gases trap sunlight in the atmosphere, thereby heating the planet. The use of biofuel is encouraged in many countries to reduce the generation of greenhouse gases, which helps to grow the market CAGR. Moreover, biofuel use has higher cost-effectiveness than conventional fossil fuels. Biofuels are adaptable to the engine, keeping it running longer and reducing maintenance costs. The aviation industry is committed to decoupling carbon emissions from traffic growth increases. SAF gives an impressive reduction of up to 80% in the head of CO2 emissions over the fuel lifecycle compared to fossil jet fuel. This depends on the sustainable feedstock used and other factors like production methods and the supply chain analysis to the airport. According to the information circulated by the IATA fact sheet, SAF will be a suitable option for aircraft operators to meet their obligations under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
Additionally, The biofuel industry help reduces the country's dependence on foreign oil. Thus, the production cost associated with biofuel is high, and the investment is low. If the demand increases, then increasing the supply will be quite expensive. Another challenge faced by biofuels is the use of fertilizers which drives the Aviation Biofuel Market revenue. As biofuels are extracted from crops, these crops require fertilizers for better growth, and fertilizers harm the environment. Similarly, large quantities of water are used to grow biofuel crops, threatening regional water resources. Implementing stringent regulations to maintain standards in aviation fuel production may hinder the market's growth; however, it can be overcome with innovation and technological advancements in the upcoming years.
Aviation Biofuel Market Segment Insights
Aviation Biofuel Type Insights
The Aviation Biofuel market segmentation, based on type, includes HEFA, HVO, FT, SIP, and ATJ. The HEFA segment dominated the market and was the only mature technology. The CAA considers HEFA fuel a leading alternative replacement for conventional jet fuel. HEFA was approved by Altair Engineering for use HEFA. The FT segment in the renewable aviation fuel sector will likely increase demand during the forecast period due to the rising demand for (FT) technology to convert an estimated 133,000 metric tons of waste a year into a biocrude that can be upgraded to aviation fuel. Thus, such investments in upcoming sustainable aviation fuel projects will likely increase the demand for FT technology.
In developing economies, further category growth is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The availability of sustainable raw materials at low cost is expected to generate lucrative opportunities for aviation biofuels period the next five years. In addition, growth in the aviation sector has contributed to the expansion of the aviation fuel market. An upsurge in demand for eco-friendly biofuels and a rise in concern about carbon emissions are expected to witness robust growth.
For instance,January 2022Â Johnson Matthey launched an innovative technology, HyCOgenTM, by converting captured carbon dioxide (CO2) and green hydrogen into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using FT technology.
For instance,February 2022Â Boeing announced a supply agreement for two million gallons of blended renewable aviation fuel with EPIC Fuels to power its commercial operations in Washington state and South Carolina by the end of 2022.
Aviation Biofuel Market Application Insights
Based on application, the aviation biofuel market segmentation includes commercial and military. The commercial-based category dominated the market. This is due to the rapid development in technological pathways to commercialize jet fuel use. The military-based segment has the fastest growth in the forecast period due to the rising research and development in the military.
