Fleet Carbon & SAF Lifecycle Emissions Tracker
Quantify commercial jet fuel burn, carbon emissions per seat-kilometer, and lifecycle environmental abatement across modern airliner fleets. Simulate drop-in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending from 10% to 100% under ICAO CORSIA and EU ReFuelEU frameworks.
Aviation Carbon Benchmarks
- Calculates lifecycle CO2 emissions per passenger-kilometer (gCO2/RPK) across commercial narrowbody and widebody families.
- Simulates Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) drop-in blends from 10% to 100% using certified HEFA and PtL abatement curves.
- Evaluates carrier fleet compliance against ICAO CORSIA baseline caps and EU ReFuelEU Aviation 2030-2050 targets.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Frequently Asked Questions
How is aviation carbon intensity calculated per passenger-kilometer (gCO2/RPK)?
Carbon intensity measures grams of CO2 emitted per revenue passenger-kilometer (RPK). It is determined by dividing total block fuel burn (multiplied by the standard Jet A-1 conversion factor of 3.16 kg CO2 per kg fuel) by passenger capacity and route distance.
What is the lifecycle carbon reduction potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)?
Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) and Power-to-Liquid (PtL) synthetic fuels can reduce net lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% to 90% compared to fossil kerosene, depending on feedstock provenance and renewable energy sources used in synthesis.
What are the ReFuelEU Aviation mandate targets for European commercial airlines?
Under European Union ReFuelEU Aviation regulations, jet fuel suppliers at EU airports must incorporate a minimum of 2% SAF by 2025, rising to 6% by 2030, 20% by 2035, and 70% by 2050, with dedicated sub-mandates for synthetic e-kerosene.
