SANTIAGO: Chile aims to start producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in a large plant by 2030 and use the fuel made from oils, fats, and biological and municipal waste for half of its aviation needs by 2050, a government report says.

The “2050 SAF Roadmap” report released on Wednesday was presented by Fernanda Cabanas, programme coordinator for Chile’s public-private “Clean Flight” project that aims to decarbonise the country’s airline industry, at an aviation conference in Santiago.
