Absolute emissions continue to rise even with predicted SAF use

Companies used for chart are those in the MSCI ACWI Index as of December 2023 not for the airline industry as a whole. Source: MSCI ESG Research, Company Disclosure. Data as of December 2023. Estimates for the Scope 1 emissions with and without SAF use is found by increasing 2019 Scope 1 emissions by 3% per annum as predicted by ICAO and assuming SAF will reduce emissions from fuel use by 80%. The “2019 Scope 1 emissions” line is meant to be a proxy for the CORSIA emissions benchmark. The actual CORSIA emissions benchmark (85% of 2019 emissions) will be different from what is shown above.
