The aviation industry is on a mission to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with a key focus on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and blockchain technology to track fuel sustainability. The challenge lies in phasing out fossil fuels, with the tracing and documentation of SAF being a significant hurdle. Blockchain technology offers a solution by providing universal visibility and traceability throughout the supply chain. Kenya Airways (KQ) stands out as the first African carrier to utilize SAF on long-haul flights, highlighting the importance of sustainability in aviation competitiveness. The upcoming COP29 conference will address government policies and regulations to support SAF adoption, ensuring a balanced pricing equilibrium as demand increases. Collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential to capitalize on Africa's sustainable aviation fuel potential and achieve net zero emissions by overcoming infrastructural challenges.
