Royal Air Force, STEVE LYMPANY/RAF 100% SAF FLIGHT TRIAL ON A VOYAGER FROM RAF BRIZE NORTON TOOK PLACE ON THE 16TH NOVEMBER 2022. SAF is a near drop in fuel, designed to reduce the carbon footprint of our aircraft which could prove to be critical to achieve our goal of net zero 2040. The SAF used for this trial is made from waste cooking oil and has approximately an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions of F-34 despite the fact it was sourced from the far east. Locally produced SAF could see an even larger reduction in CO2 emissions in the future. The SAF’s technical name is Hydro processed Ester Fatty Acid Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (HEFA SPK) It is produced by breaking down oils and fats into esters and glycerol in a process called transesterification. The esters are then hydro processed to remove oxygen and unsaturated bonds from them which makes them fit for use in aircraft and less susceptible to breaking down. There are differences within the fuels which will have an effect on various things: It has 0 sulphur which reduces engine lubrici
