The Biden administration released its plans for boosting Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production. The report (link) lists various challenges ahead and calls for “coordination of U.S. government support” for oilseed cover crops and other near-term lipid crops. The goals:
- Achieving a minimum of a 50% reduction in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fuel.
- Meeting a goal of supplying sufficient SAF to meet 100% of aviation fuel demand by 2050.
- Scale up the production of SAF to 35 billion gallons per year by 2050. A near-term goal of 3 billion gallons per year is established as a milestone for 2030.
