Description (excerpt):
Since its announcement in September 2021, the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge has had a significant impact in accelerating the acceptance and growth of SAF as a primary strategy in aviation decarbonization.
Since the SAF Grand Challenge was announced, annual SAF domestic production and imports have grown from 5 million gallons in 2021 to 52 million gallons through the first six months of 2024. Fifty-two million gallons corresponds to more than 300,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions reductions.
Based on a database of active projects, between 2.6 and 4.9 billion gallons per year of SAF may be produced by 2030, creating a clear pathway to achieve the SAF Grand Challenge near-term goal.
