The Global Aviation Biofuel Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Aviation Biofuel Market Definition

Liquid fuels, known as Aviation Biofuels, may be made from various biomass, such as vegetable oils, plant matter, and animal manure. The net carbon dioxide emissions from utilizing bio jet can be lower than the pollution from fossil fuels since plants absorb atmospheric carbon as they develop across several phases of development, harvesting, and regeneration. The compositional standards for aviation fuels are more stringent than the requirements for fuels used in road transportation. A high power concentration, as well as characteristics like lubricity as well as cold flow qualities, are essential. Nowadays, biojet is mixed with jet fuel sourced from fossil fuels to guarantee the desired rates are obtained.

A variety of industrial processes can be used to make Aviation Biofuels. Under the physical and chemical makeup of the biomass, various feedstocks are suitable for multiple processing procedures. The entire method used determines the conversion’s efficiency. For instance, pyrolysis might transform lignocellulosic feedstocks such as forestry wastes into liquid fuel, needing just hydrogenation for refining or through combustion and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Alcohols may be produced from starch and sugar plants, which can be transformed into oligomers and dehydrated. More advanced techniques can directly convert carbohydrates to hydrocarbons.

Aviation biofuels are described as renewable aviation fuels since they are biofuels utilized to power airplanes (SAF). In the opinion of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), it is essential to lessen aviation’s influence on the climate. Aviation biofuel may contribute to the decarbonization of medium- and long-haul air transport, which accounts for most emissions. It may also increase the lifespan of existing aircraft models by reducing their carbon impact. By 2050, the aviation sector pledges to cut carbon footprints by 50% from 2005 levels. A blend of conventional jet fuel and lower carbon SAF would be needed to achieve this aim. This is apparent in the IEA’s Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS), which projects that by 2030, biofuels will account for nearly 10% of the market for aviation fuel and almost 20% by 2040.

Global Aviation Biofuel Market Overview

The constant variations in oil and gas prices give unique stimulus to aircraft fuel. The need for aviation fuel is being driven up by a variety of new commercial and military uses that are developing in response to increased air transport and an expanding inventory of airplanes. The need for air cargo transportation regarding quantity and freight traffic is crucial to expanding the world aircraft fuel industry.

The industry is anticipated to increase as airline corporations and other major market participants take more measures. For example, United Airlines, the world’s third-largest airline, established a unique investment entity in February 2023 to assist young companies specializing in green aviation gasoline. The Sustainable Flight Fund, the primary and most accessible method to decrease flight carbon footprints, is intended to aid in accelerating research, manufacturing, and technology related to SAF. The fund was established with more than USD100 million in contributions from companies including Boeing, GE Aerospace, Honeywell, and JP Morgan Chase, a leading global financial institution, and Air Canada, a significant Star Alliance airline group partner with United.

As one of the significant producers of greenhouse gases (GHG), the aviation sector must make every effort to use cleaner energy for airplanes. Opportunities are predicted to abound in the aircraft biofuel sector as more countries join the Paris Agreement and establish their emissions objectives. The renewables industry will attract a surge of investment into the marketplace over the forecast period, boosting market growth.

The need for environmentally friendly aircraft fuel may decline due to the lack of raw resources needed for its production. Also, refinery limitations, essential for the best possible utilization of these fuel sources, contribute to making SAF. Moreover, a lack of fuel supply strains the fuel’s capacity to mix, lowering performance. Throughout the projection period, rising crude oil costs and lubricant pollution are anticipated to restrain market expansion. As production capability will be developed on a contractual basis instead of as a commodity for the first several decades, renewable aviation fuel won’t be easily accessible. In addition, the cost of developing other biofuel plants increases after they are operational and making it more challenging for them to reach the critical mass of sustainability.

Global Aviation Biofuel MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Aviation Biofuel Market is Segmented on the basis of Type, Application, And Geography.

Aviation Biofuel Market, By Type

• Fischer-Tropsch
• Hydrogenated Vegetables

Based on the Type, the market is split into Fischer-Tropsch, and Hydrogenated Vegetables.  The hydrogenated vegetables segment is expected to grow at a considerable pace over the forecast period. Vegetable oils that have been hydrogenated have had their characteristics altered by adding hydrogen. They become more robust and less prone to go rancid as a result. Although they can be utilized as aircraft biofuel, hydrogenated vegetable oils usually have a lower fuel density than other aircraft biofuels. Companies like Boeing are exploring the technical compatibility of high-freezing temperature HEFA (HEFA+) aviation fuel in airplanes in an effort to decarbonize the aviation industry. HEFA+ is a synthesized hydrocarbon manufactured from biomaterial, including vegetable oil or waste fats.

Aviation Biofuel Market, By Application

• Commercial
• Military

Based on Application, the market is split into commercial and military. The commercial segment dominated the overall industry in 2021. Increasing adoption of biofuels as a replacement for conventional fuels is expected to contribute to segment growth. Further, increasing carbon emissions regulations coupled with rising air travel worldwide are expected to drive the commercial segment over the forecast period. Airbus predicts that more than 38,000 new planes will be supplied during the next 20 years, some of which will replace the older models in the fleet.

Aviation Biofuel Market, By Geography

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa

On the basis of Geography, The Aviation Biofuel Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. North America dominated the Aviation Biofuel Market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its position over the forecast period due to government initiatives to decarbonize the aviation sector. For instance, in September 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released USD 64.7 million in financing for initiatives to create low-cost, carbon-based biofuels. These investments will quicken America’s transition to a net-zero pollution industry by 2050 by advancing technology to develop substitutes for the petroleum energies used in aircraft and ships, as well as other heavy-duty modes of transportation.
