[{"type":"text","content":"HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / October 30, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. ("XCF") (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("SAF"), today shared its perspective on the rapidly evolving global policy landscape shaping the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel.","length":336,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"The scale of the challenge - and opportunity - is immense. According to the International Air Transport Association ("IATA"), airlines will need approximately 165 billion gallons of SAF annually by 2050 to achieve net-zero emissions. In 2024, global SAF production totalled only ~330 million gallons - about 0.3% of total jet-fuel demand. Meeting 2050 decarbonization targets will require an estimated 27% compound annual growth rate in production capacity and the construction of 5,000 - 7,000 new facilities worldwide. This gap represents one of the most compelling growth opportunities in the global energy transition, with analysts projecting the SAF market could exceed ~$25 billion by 2030 and reach ~$270 billion by 2050.","length":738,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Governments are responding. Across major markets, policymakers are using mandates and incentive schemes to accelerate SAF adoption. Today, more than 2 billion people globally live in countries with SAF blending mandates or strong incentives, such as tax credits - by 2030, this number is expected to grow to more than 4 billion people.","length":335,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"In the U.S., the SAF Grand Challenge aims to expand domestic consumption of SAF to 3 billion gallons per year by 2030 and 35 billion gallons per year by 2050.","length":158,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"In Europe,the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation mandates that SAF make up 2% of all jet fuel by 2025, rising to 6% in 2030, 20% by 2035, and 70% by 2050, creating one of the largest mandated clean-fuel markets globally.","length":214,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"The UK has coupled mandates starting from 2% in 2025 and increasing to 10% in 2030 and 22% in 2040 with revenue-certainty mechanisms that help cover the price premium between SAF and conventional jet fuel.","length":205,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"tex...
