July 01, 2025 - The growing volume of global air travel and the increasing push for decarbonization in aviation are major factors driving revenue growth in the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market. Airports Council International (ACI) World forecasts that global passenger traffic will surpass pre-pandemic levels by 2024, reaching 9.5 billion, and is projected to exceed 12 billion by 2030, driven largely by expanding markets in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Additionally, data from the European Union shows that 973 million people traveled by air within the EU in 2023. Spain recorded the highest number of passengers at 110.9 million, while Malta experienced the largest year-over-year growth, rising 31.8% to 5.7 million.

On June 2025, Axens, in partnership with IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) and SMS group, has successfully certified the Carboverseo technology. This cutting-edge reverse water-gas shift process, which transforms CO₂ into CO, is now operational and poised to reshape the e-fuel sector by offering a reliable and scalable method for converting CO₂ into valuable outputs. The development of Carboverseo was accelerated through a fast-track approach, capitalizing on the combined expertise of all partners. Axens played a key role by contributing its process design and integration know-how, built on its extensive background in the oil and gas industry.

One of the primary obstacles to the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels is their high cost. At present, biofuel-based SAF is priced at two to three times the cost of conventional jet fuel, while eSAF can be six to eight times more expensive. The aviation sector faces intense competition, operates on narrow profit margins, and bears high liability due to strict safety regulations—factors that make integrating these costly alternatives particularly challenging.
