Sustainable Aviation Fuel:

POWERING AMERICAN ENERGY, AGRICULTURE & INNOVATION

What is SAF?

Aviation was born in the U.S., and ever since that historic flight outside Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903, our nation has remained at the forefront of global aviation innovation.

Aviation is among our economy’s fastest growing industries.
Nearly 3 million passengers and more than 58,000 tons of cargo move through American airports every day.

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has emerged as a leading solution to support growing demand, achieve energy dominance, and create opportunities for rural economies. Since SAF is made from a variety of renewable feedstocks, it helps to establish new markets for American agriculture, bioenergy, and technology developers. SAF also creates good-paying jobs, and new economic opportunities for U.S. farmers and in rural communities. SAF can be mass-produced in the U.S. and blended with traditional jet fuel without the need to modify existing aircraft, meaning SAF can be immediately put to use.

we are the saf coalition

Members of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Coalition are working together to rapidly scale investment in the SAF sector, and advocate for the policies necessary to drive U.S. leadership in the emerging SAF marketplace.

Scaling U.S. SAF production will provide critical support for farmers, rural communities, and other key SAF industries across the country.

Through policy reforms, the U.S. can boost our SAF production, become a net exporter of SAF, and maintain our leadership in this rapidly evolving source of energy.
