Over the past decade, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) research has surged due to aviation's 2–3 % global emissions, driving urgent development meet climate goals. This study employed a mixed-method approach, combining literature review following PRISMA framework with case analysis. is first systematically SAF through lens of SDGs, providing comprehensive analysis how contributes various targets. highlights critical gaps in current research, particularly need for studies focused on economic and social dimensions SAFs alongside technological environmental aspects. paper utilized BERTopic modeling thematic SDG Mapper tool align SAF-related publications overview landscape. The findings reveal that 38.9 aligns 13 (climate action), emphasizing focus mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. 7 (Affordable Clean Energy) 12 (Responsible Consumption Production) are also significantly represented, 24.1 13.7 alignment, respectively. Six topics identified: net zero supply chain models, advanced air mobility, microalgae-based biofuels, bio jet fuel production processes, renewable catalysts. cover innovations, management, impact, stakeholder engagement, highlighting challenges benefits reducing industry's carbon footprint. To reduce companies should optimize blending, invest Jatropha-based fuels, locate facilities strategically, retrofit refineries, assess life cycles, engage stakeholders. Governments must update standards, provide financial incentives, support retrofits, ensure promote feedstocks, foster collaboration, incentivize adoption. results underscore SAF's potential contribute multiple footprint promoting energy practices.
