Gulfstream Flies A G600 Across The Atlantic On 100% SAF Using Pratt & Whitney Engines
Pratt & Whitney Canada and Gulfstream Aerospace have completed the first 100% biofuel-powered transatlantic crossing between Savannah and Farnborough. The biofuel used in the flight has up to 70% lower carbon emissions than conventional jet fuel and was provided by World Fuel Servies. Pratt & Whitney Canada's engines have already been approved for operation with up to 50% SAF blended fuel, and this successful test flight opens up the possibility for the approval of higher SAF usage.… (www.msn.com) More...

Looks like the troll has hit every squawk from this email. Please, people try to keep the comments related to avaition or the article. Politics, religion and dumb-assery don't have a place here.
Noun: bio-fuel
A fuel derived directly from living matter.
Sounds like the premise for a good Steven King novel.

A horse can go all day on half a bail of hay,so whats the hype.
Checked the price of printer ink or a bottle of water! Consumers will pay with no thought to the costs. Organic foods, bottles water, makes no difference, consumers will pay!!!
Could be, but it would sure be interesting to see some transparency in this. When it comes to air travel many consumers are very price savvy. Time will tell.
Is anyone ever going to address the costs associated with utilizing SAF? Do these promoters really believe that the increased costs associated with using this fuel are going to be absorbed by the traveling public and operators of aircraft? I don't think the consumers are willing to pay the higher prices.
It kind of reminds me of the problems associated with utilizing "Wide-cut" fuel at times from military and foreign airports. Are there any issues associated with mixing JetA with SAF? Again, silence. Can the fuels be stored in the same facilities, or do we have to have exclusive equipment to process the fuel from storage into the aircraft? Again, silence.
It appears that the promoters of SAF want to eliminate the availability of Aviation Jet Fuel, forcing operators to have to switch to SAF and the increased costs. Same process as the EV promoters are trying to do. Similar situation as they (the promoters) want to force the market to change.
