The activities of flight have an impact on the environment. Combustion from aircraft fuel produces chemical products that have been emitted from the high-speed aircraft engine. Aircraft engines produce emissions that are similar to other emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion. The transportation sector include land and air transportation produced 22,4 % from all energy sector. To reduce aircraft emissions while maintaining healthy economic growth, the aviation sector needs to reduce the use of fossil jet fuel by using sustainable aviation fuel. The use of biofuel in airplanes does not completely replace the fuel we use today, but gradually starting with a mixture of 10 % or 20 %. Several European countries and China have used biofuels made from waste in each country. Likewise in Indonesia, Pertamina collaborates with ITB, producing aircraft fuel from palm oil. The flight test using a Garuda Boeing 737 aircraft was successful using a mixture of 2.4% biofuel in October 2023. The CO2 emission estimation calculations at three large airports in Indonesia, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Jakarta, Juanda International Airport Surabaya and Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport Makassar that using aviation fuel and a mix of aviation fuel with 2.4 % biofuel, reduce by 2.83 % - 2.95 %.
