Learjet 45 and Learjet 60 emissions reductions from SAF
In simple terms, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is an aviation fuel made from more sustainable sources than conventional fossil-based sources.
These non-conventional feedstocks, or ingredients, can include municipal solid waste, forest residues, agricultural residues, fats/oils/greases etc.
Today’s SAF can be safely blended with conventional jet fuel at various ratios. They use the same delivery infrastructure and are compatible with modern aircraft engines. Currently, the highest approved ratio is a 50:50 blend between SAF and conventional fuel. All Bombardier aircraft are certified to operate with this blend.
As a Learjet 45 or Learjet 60 owner or operator, you may be wondering how filling your tanks with SAF will affect your aircraft’s CO2 emissions – and therefore reduce your environmental impact. In the tables below, Bombardier engineers have calculated the impacts of using SAF derived from five different feedstocks and synthesized using a variety of production processes.
To account for various customer mission profiles in Learjet 45 and Learjet 60 aircraft, scenarios have been developed for flights of 600 nm, 800 nm, and 1,000 nm distances.
