WSU Study: Potential SAF Output Could Reach Two-Thirds of 2030 Target

en.Wedoany.com Reported - A recent study by Washington State University shows that the potential production of sustainable aviation fuel in the United States could meet two-thirds of its 2030 federal target, but achieving this goal requires overcoming significant obstacles.

Published in the March issue of Biomass and Bioenergy, the study is described as one of the most detailed examinations of the U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry to date. It is part of a broader research project at Washington State University (WSU), helping to position the university as a leading research institution in sustainable aviation fuel.

Researchers noted that while domestic production is rapidly expanding, the U.S. will still struggle to meet its target of producing 3 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel annually by 2030 without additional support and sustained industry investment.

The report indicates that under the most optimistic scenario, U.S. domestic sustainable aviation fuel production could reach approximately 2.1 billion gallons per year by 2030, equivalent to about two-thirds of the federal target. However, actual production levels could be significantly lower due to market conditions, project delays, and policy support.
