I have no facts to back this up, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the production of 1 gallon of SAF would require more than 1 gallon of diesel to produce, similarly to the production of ethanol. I have a question, is the thermodynamic content (if that’s the description to use, not sure) of a gallon SAF equivalent to a gallon of jetfuel? In the case of ethanol compared to gasoline, it definitely is not. Second question, is this demand for feedstock to produce SAF putting an upward price pressure on the feedstock that farmers have to buy for their livestock? What would be the incentive for a corporate pilot like myself (retired) to buy SAF unless it was cheaper than jetfuel?
