Visual Comparison

Feedstock cost
by pathway.

Normalized energy cost comparison across all four SAF production pathways — from raw feedstock to factory gate.

Feedstock Input Cost (USD/MWh)
HEFA
$89/MWh
ATJ
$92/MWh
PtL
$228/MWh
G-FT
$43/MWh
Average normalized feedstock input cost. PtL dominated by green hydrogen at $228/MWh. G-FT biomass cheapest per MWh but requires high capital expenditure.
SAF Output Cost (USD/t)
HEFA
$2,174
ATJ
$2,000
PtL
$8,310
G-FT
$2,400
Total SAF production cost including CAPEX, OPEX, and feedstock. PtL currently 3–4× more expensive due to electrolyser costs and renewable power requirements.
Scenario Engine

Price escalation
meets output cost.

Model feedstock price changes and see how they cascade into SAF production costs. Feedstocks represent 45–80% of OPEX depending on pathway.

SAF Output Cost 2030
Methodology: Feedstock OPEX share: HEFA 80%, ATJ 65%, PtL 55% (electricity-dominated), G-FT 45% (capital-dominated). Base SAF costs: HEFA $2,174/t, ATJ $2,000/t, PtL $8,310/t, G-FT $2,400/t. CAGR compounded over 4 years. All values in USD. Not investment advice.
