Rather than serving as a full feasibility analysis or detailed project proposal, it uses a techno-economic approach to showcase Africa’s potential through examples from these countries. The analysis highlights strategies for cost reduction and risk management, with a focus on the higher selling prices of SAF in Africa, which are driven by elevated risk premiums and green premiums. By assessing feedstock availability, production technologies, and policy frameworks, the study provides actionable insights to accelerate SAF adoption in Africa. The aim is to bridge the cost gap with conventional fossil-based jet fuel, position Africa as an integral part of sustainable aviation value chain, and contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOAFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGYSUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUELS (SAF)PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIESCARBON EMISSIONS REDUCTIONCLIMATE ACTIONReportWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/43286
