Towards SAF for Indonesia Based on a Review of The United States and The European Union

Abstract

Utilizing fossil fuels within the transportation segment significantly contributes to increased CO2 emissions in the environment, thus requiring concerted efforts to reduce these emissions. Various studies indicate that the utilization of SAF in jet-powered aircraft contributes significantly to efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, but there are various obstacles to its implementation. This study examines the main obstacles in the development of SAF, determines countries that can be used as benchmarks for SAF development, studies the development of SAF in selected countries, and describes the future development of SAF in Indonesia The approach employed in this consideration may be a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) utilizing auxiliary information from different sources. This study shows that the most boundaries to the advancement of SAF incorporate feedstock accessibility, supply chain, government support, technology readiness, and SAF selling price. The United States and the European Union (EU) are countries or regions that can be used as best practices for SAF implementation. They have succeeded in becoming producers and consumers, and have a roadmap for SAF development in their respective countries. Indonesia, with its abundant feedstock potential, technological expertise, and strong government support, has great potential to become a successful SAF implementer. Further research, policy formulation, and regulation development in SAF development are still needed, especially to align SAF prices with fossil fuel prices.
