Toshiyuki Onuma, president of the ICAO Council, anticipates a 5% reduction in carbon emissions from international aviation by 2030, driven by increased production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The Changi Aviation Summit underscored the need for collaboration among stakeholders to meet competing biofuel demands, while IATA reported that SAF production remains low at 1.9 million tonnes, only 0.6% of total jet fuel consumption. Singapore's civil aviation authority has initiated a trial requiring 1% SAF in all flights from October 1, with plans to raise this to 3-5% by 2030.
