*Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is the term for all aviation fuels that, unlike conventional aviation fuel, are produced without the use of fossil feedstocks such as crude oil, and also meet established sustainability criteria. The SAF used by Ryanair meets the requirements of the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II). Using SAF results in a reduction in carbon emissions compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces over the lifecycle of the fuel. Emission reductions are predominately achieved during the production process and through the use of sustainable feedstocks. The emissions from its combustion in an aircraft engine are effectively the same as those of fossil fuels.
