Abstract: A decision tool models emissions for a sustainable aircraft fuel (SAF) for the lifecycle of the fuel. The decision tool includes a controller module configured to receive data related to at least one fuel pathway for the fuel wherein the fuel pathway considers emissions from initial feedstock production to fuel burn during flight and arrival. The decision tool determines at least one fuel pathway for the fuel used to fuel the aircraft during a flight, models an emission score for the at least one fuel pathway, and then outputs the emission score where a user can purchase the fuel or make other decisions based upon the fuel pathway provided by the decision tool.
