What are the benefits of SAF compared to fossil jet fuel?

Based on our own Life Cycle Analysis, a specific batch of SAF can reduce emissions around 87%, compared to fossil jet fuel over its entire life span. This includes production, distribution, transportation and combustion. It can also reduce other harmful emissions like particulates and sulfur by 91% and 100% respectively. These reductions are critical ways to reduce the impact of climate change on our planet.

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Market Outlook 2025

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Market Outlook, developed in close collaboration with ICF today. This year’s edition highlights both the progress made and the important steps still needed to ensure a resilient, scalable SAF industry capable of meeting long-term decarbonization goals.

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Market Production

SAF can be produced from non-petroleum-based renewable feedstocks including, but not limited to, the food and yard waste portion of municipal solid waste, woody biomass, fats/greases/oils, and other feedstocks. SAF production is in its early stages, with three known commercial producers:

World Energy began SAF production in 2016 at its Paramount, California, facility and initially supplied fuel to Los Angeles International Airport prior to supplying additional California airports.
International producer Neste began supplying SAF to San Francisco International Airport in 2020 before expanding to other California airports in 2021 and 2022, as well as Aspen/Pitkin County Airport and Telluride Regional Airport, both in Colorado.
Montana Renewables LLC began production in partnership with Shell at an existing petroleum production plant in 2023, supplying fuel to several partner airlines.

Additional new domestic plants are expected. Many airlines have signed agreements with existing and future SAF producers to use all their expected output. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) collects renewable fuel data as part of the Renewable Fuel Standard, which provides an approximate consumption for novel biofuels such as SAF. EPA's data show that approximately 5 million gallons of SAF were consumed in 2021, 15.84 million gallons in 2022, and 24.5 million gallons in 2023.

There are multiple technology pathways to produce fuels approved by ASTM and blending limitations based on these pathways. ASTM D7566 Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons dictates fuel quality standards for non-petroleum-based jet fuel and outlines approved SAF-based fuels and the percent allowable in a blend with Jet A. All three existing plants use the hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids pathway shown in the table on this page. New domestic plants using the alcohol-to-jet pathway with ethanol as a feedstock are expected. ASTM D1655 Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels allows co-processing of biomass feedstocks at a petroleum refinery in blends up to 5%.

Both ASTM standards are continuously updated to allow for advancements in technology to produce SAF. DOE's Sustainable Aviation Fuel Review of Technical Pathways provides details on various SAF production pathways. The pathways below represent only those currently approved by ASTM. Processes and tests exist for the approval of other feedstocks, fuel molecules, and blending limits, and the types of approved fuels will increase as these are evaluated through this process.

SAF Production Pathways
Pathway	Approved Name	Blending Limitation		Feedstocks	Chemical Process
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK)	FT-SPK, ASTM D7566 Annex A1, 2009	50	%	Municipal solid waste, agricultural and forest wastes, energy crops	Woody biomass is converted to syngas using gasification, then a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction converts the syngas to jet fuel. Feedstocks include various sources of renewable biomass, primarily woody biomass such as municipal solid waste, agricultural wastes, forest wastes, wood, and energy crops. ASTM approved in June 2009 with a 50% blend limit.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Safe, Reliable, Low Carbon

SAF is a biofuel used to power aircraft that has similar properties to conventional jet fuel but with a smaller carbon footprint. Depending on the feedstock and technologies used to produce it, SAF can reduce emissions dramatically compared to conventional jet fuel. Some emerging SAF pathways even have a net-negative emissions footprint.

SAFs lower carbon intensity makes it an important solution for reducing emissions, which make up 9%–12% of U.S. transportation emissions, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A Menu of Feedstocks for Producing SAF

The U.S. Department of Energy’s 2023 Billion-Ton Report: An Assessment of U.S. Renewable Carbon Resources concluded that the United States could triple its production of biomass to more than 1 billion tons per year producing an estimated 60 billion gallons of low emission liquid fuels. These resources include:

Corn grain
Oil seeds
Algae
Other fats, oils, and greases
Agricultural residues
Forestry residues
Wood mill waste
Municipal solid waste streams
Wet wastes (manures, wastewater treatment sludge)
Dedicated energy crops.

This vast resource contains enough feedstock to meet the projected fuel demand of the U.S. aviation industry, additional volumes of drop-in low carbon fuels for use in other modes of transportation, and produce high-value bioproducts and renewable chemicals.

SAF Benefits Beyond Lowering Emissions

SAF developed from a wide dispersion and variety of biomass resources will ensure that the benefits of expanded biomass production extend to both rural and urban areas. Resources, like energy crops, in a future mature market can provide more than 400 million tons of biomass per year above current uses. In addition, expanding biomass production can create new economic opportunities in agricultural and urban communities, improve the environment, and even boost aircraft performance.

Extra Revenue for Farmers

By growing biomass crops for SAF production, American farmers can earn more money during off seasons by providing feedstocks to this new market, while also securing benefits for their farms like reducing nutrient losses and improving soil quality.

Environmental Services

Biomass crops can control erosion and improve water quality and quantity. They can also increase biodiversity and store carbon in the soil, which can deliver on-farm benefits and environmental benefits across the country. Producing SAF from wet wastes, like manure and sewage sludge, reduces pollution pressure on watersheds, while also keeping potent methane gas out of the atmosphere.

Improved Aircraft Performance

Many SAFs contain fewer aromatic components, which enables them to burn cleaner in aircraft engines. This means lower local emissions of harmful compounds around airports during take-off and landing. Aromatic components are also precursors to contrails, which can exacerbate environmental impacts.

Biofuels Production Supports American Jobs

The United States is the largest producer of biofuels in the world, which contributes to our domestic economy, creates jobs, and reduces emissions.

Expanding domestic SAF production can help sustain the benefits of our biofuel industry and forge new economic benefits, creating and securing employment opportunities across the country. These include jobs in:

Feedstock production in farming communities
Construction for building cutting-edge biorefineries
Manufacturing for operating SAF biorefineries and infrastructure

Government Initiatives for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Industry:

ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative (European Union): This policy mandates that aviation fuel suppliers at EU airports must blend a minimum share of SAF with conventional jet fuel, starting at 2% in 2025 and increasing to 70% by 2050, to create a guaranteed market and drive investment.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge (United States): A government-wide strategy to expand domestic SAF production, setting an ambitious goal of achieving 3 billion gallons per year by 2030 and 35 billion gallons by 2050 to meet 100% of domestic aviation fuel demand.
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Tax Credits (United States): The IRA provides significant production tax credits (45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit) to incentivize the production of clean transportation fuels, including SAF, and help bridge the price gap with conventional jet fuel.
National SAF Blending Targets (India): India has approved indicative blending targets for SAF in aviation turbine fuel, starting with 1% by 2027, 2% by 2028, and 5% by 2030 for international flights, to promote self-reliance and decarbonization.
Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) (ICAO): This global market-based measure, established by the International Civil Aviation Organization, requires airlines to offset emissions above a set baseline from international flights, thereby creating a demand signal for SAF use.
UK SAF Mandate (United Kingdom): Similar to the EU, the UK has introduced a mandate requiring fuel suppliers to ensure a minimum proportion of the UK's aviation fuel mix is SAF, starting at 2% in 2025 and rising to 10% by 2030.
