ESG Today writes that another benefit of the tool is that it will be able to determine how much SAF the aviation industry will use in relation to the jet fuel consumption habits.

Earlier in May, Boeing released another program open to the whole industry, called Cascade, which will calculate the efficiency of all improvements brought to aircraft and not only throughout their whole lifespan, among other features.

The program was already able to determine that aviation could reduce most of its environmental footprint by using SAF as a fuel substitute, at least in the short term.

However, due to currently limited supply and uncompetitive prices, the SAF industry struggles to compete with traditional kerosene. This, however, is bound to change, especially since more and more SAF-production projects emerge constantly.

Chris Raymond, Chief Sustainability Officer at Boeing, said that "SAF reduces CO2 emissions by up to 85% and possibly more over the fuel’s life cycle, offering the greatest potential to decarbonize aviation over the next 30 years. SAF Dashboard portrays the data visually as our industry works together across sectors to increase SAF production for a more sustainable aerospace future."
