'Test - do you know much about SAF from crops (Corn grain, Oil seeds, Cover crops etc) and how they compare with SAF from waste?'
It is a very complex comparison, on a few fronts. C footprint ( Is it AF/SAF)., route to AV/SAF, and in particular the MO.
Fermenting Corn produces a number of compounds, proteins, sugars, alcohol, and CO2. Lots of CO2. To mfr Jet Fuel from Ethanol ( alcohol), requires another process. Under present guidelines, would not qualify as SAF (imho). We are all probably aware of petrol with ethanol additive. The main market for this has been USA, but with a Trump POTUS looking likely ( unbelievably), the good ol US of A will abandon all 'green' incentives. If, ontoh, VP Harris wins, expect USA to lead World in promoting SAF, through a variety of MO's. Corn that is specifically grown for fermentation, has its detractors. The Pyrolysis of plastic to produce oil based products and wax, can be further treated to produce AF. If this is SAF, has to be answered by Authorities. In any event, it is a better solution than AF from Oil. Period.
Briefly, on 'Rewards'. The prime objective of a CEO, and other PDMR's, is to ensure the financial well being of themselves and family. These 'Share options/awards' are one of the conduits to achieve this goal. If the Co succeeds, it is a 'bonus'. However, if I make a few hundred G, and the CEO makes a hundred million, I can buy him a drink, happily.
