Abstract

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) offers various pathways to mitigate the aviation industry’s significant carbon footprint. Over the past years, the SAF research landscape has seen a proliferation of overview/survey papers across diverse domains, driven by an increasing number of primary studies.
