However, current supply falls short by more than 120 million metric tons. NovaSAF™ addresses this gap by converting biogenic methane and carbon dioxide into ASTM-certified SAF using light-activated catalysts and renewable electricity. This process reduces equipment costs, leverages widely available feedstocks, and delivers strong project returns. Altogether, this pathway is generally at or lower cost than HEFA and can even achieve Jet-A parity in the right scenarios.","length":616,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Crucially, NovaSAF™ meets both SAF and eSAF (electrofuels) requirements under the EU's RED III directive and the UK's Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO).
