The first flight, which used blended biofuel, began in 2008 and as of March 2019, more than 150,000 flights have used biofuels. Only five airports have regular biofuel distribution till March 2019 (Bergen, Brisbane, Los Angeles, Oslo, and Stockholm), with others offering occasional supply. To cut CO2 emissions by half, by 2050, relative to 2005 levels, and achieve the goal of carbon-neutral growth, the global airline industry, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have announced to initiate the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), from 2021. Renewable aviation fuel (RAF) produces up to 85% less CO2 over its lifecycle and has the potential to reduce the dependence on traditional aviation fuel. CORSIA is estimated to mitigate around 2.5 billion metric ton of CO2, between 2021 and 2035. Renewable aviation fuel is expected to play a significant role in achieving the industr y’s long-term emissions reduction goal. The market is driven by the strict emission regulations laid on aircraft emissions, by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). As of 2018, around 150,000 commercial flights have successfully flown on biofuels blends, and several major airlines have committed to the long-term RAF purchase agreement. Further, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has set a goal of reaching 1 billion passengers on flights, fueled by sustainable aviation biofuels, by 2025. The major factor restraining the market includes the high cost of production of renewable aviation fuel. Fuel cost account for a significant share of the total operating expenses of an airline company (30%). Hence, high fuel costs increase the operating cost for an airline company, by a considerable amount.
