The transition to sustainable aviation fuel will cost as much as $4.7tn (€4.1tn), with just 0.7pc of airlines’ fuel requirements will be sourced from green fuel this year, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
A 2023 report predicted that Ireland could have a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry generating €2.5bn in revenue a year by 2050, supporting 1,000 jobs.
