A cognitive mapping approach to analyse stakeholders’ perspectives on sustainable aviation fuels
Open accessAbstract
Despite sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) provides a viable option to decarbonise global aviation, the fuel transition to the commercial level is stagnant. Our paper investigates the key barriers and opportunities in upscaling the SAF consumption perceived by industrial stakeholders along the SAF supply chain. The primary interview data of stakeholders is analysed using the cognitive mapping approach. We contribute to the literature by developing multi-layer cognitive maps of stakeholder groups followed by a composite map to investigate the SAF development process. Though there is a common goal of lowering emissions, producers, airlines, distributors, and governmental and other advocating agencies map their distinct paths. Furthermore, our composite cognitive map presents strategic levers which are critical in SAF development and are shared by all shareholder groups. Such an understanding of SAF development is instrumental in developing progressive strategies for expediting the transition to SAF that balances environmental sustainability and economic benefits.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
