Faced with the severe challenge of global climate change,the aviation industry,an important sector of greenhouse gas emissions,plays a crucial role in achieving global climate goals through its emission reduction actions.Sustainable aviation fuel(SAF),an alternative energy source with significant emission reduction potential,has become a key factor in reducing emissions in the aviation industry through its promotion and application.However,the widespread application of SAF requires joint efforts and collaboration between the government and airlines.This article aims to construct an evolutionary game model between the government and airlines from the game theory perspective,and analyze the collaborative emission reduction mechanism between SAF and carbon markets.The research results indicate that the establishment of a reasonable carbon market mechanism by government departments can enable airlines to benefit from carbon market emissions reduction by adding SAF,incurring emission costs,and incentivizing airlines to apply SAF.Reducing the cost of adding SAF to airlines and providing policy incentives for airlines to add SAF can also promote the application of SAF and achieve emission reduction goals.Based on this,this article suggests that the government should set lower emission reduction targets and provide research and development support in the early stages to promote the maturity and market acceptance of SAF technology.With the development of the market,carbon quota requirements and carbon prices are gradually increasing to incentivize airlines to increase the proportion of SAF usage and achieve long-term emission reduction goals.This study provides the theoretical basis and practical guidance for government departments and airlines in promoting the coordinated emission reduction of SAF and carbon markets,which helps to promote the green transformation and sustainable development of the aviation industry.
