124、out action now,decarbonisation will not be achieved.”“Technology commercialisation is at the heart of the solution for SAF.Mechanisms must be found that will provide the investment community with sufficient confidence to back novel production pathways,and to finance the scale and capacity that is ne

131、of SAF will remain stubbornly high,at 2 times the long-run historical kerosene price.In aggregate-to 2050-SAF will cost an incremental cumulative$3.5-5.5trn more than a No SAF Reference Case,which is about 2-4%of the cumulative estimated required Net Zero investment of$130-140trn over the period 202
