• SAF are “drop-in” liquid aviation fuels – same infrastructure, engines & aircraft • SAF can reduce lifecycle GHG and air quality emissions substantially – critical to aviation de-carbonization • Viable technologies exist – seven alternative fuel pathways currently approved for use, and two approved for co-processing with petroleum, more under evaluation for approval • Scalable feedstocks – wastes & residues, biomass, sugars, oils and energy crops can all supply SAF • Widely accepted by airlines, business, and general aviation • Broadly supported among federal agencies as meeting critical goals - climate, energy security, rural economic development • Critical to international efforts to address aviation emissions Federal Aviation Administration Sustainable Aviation Fuels – Life Cycle Benefit FAA have extensive research that have supported development of rigorous life cycle accounting methods over the last decade: - Argonne National Labs GREET Model - ICAO Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) - SAF Blenders Tax Credit (I.R.A. Sections 13203 and 13704) Diagram from ATAG Beginner’s Guide to SAF, which is available at: https://aviationbenefits.org/downloads/beginners-guide-to-sustainable-aviation-fuel/ The extent to which any particular SAF provides a climate benefit depends on SAF’s life cycle emissions profile, taking into account the production, transportation, and combustion of the SAF, as well as indirect effects.
