American SAF Leadership, If We Can Keep It

• America is a SAF Pioneer – The U.S. invented SAF and has pioneered many of the innovations that have made it a feasible, low-carbon alternative to traditional jet fuel.
• America is Leading the World in SAF – U.S. companies and innovators are rapidly growing SAF production yet demand far exceeds current supply.
• America is Ready for More – With the right policy incentives, the U.S. can increase SAF production to an estimated 3 billion gallons a year by 2030.

Global Competitors Are Moving Forward with Policies to Support SAF

Global competitors are creating market opportunities for SAF, which may displace America’s leadership by:

• Providing Government Incentives – Other nations are creating sweeping incentives to boost advanced liquid biofuels and SAF production.
• Imposing Mandates – Countries are creating mandates that require a minimum percentage of SAF to be used.
• Centralizing Procurement – International aviation authorities are creating central procurement mechanisms to help lower the cost and increase the delivery of SAF.

American Leadership Requires Strong Federal SAF Policy

America’s continued SAF leadership requires strong federal policies that:

• Enhance U.S. competitiveness
• Scale the supply of low-carbon, affordable SAF
• Enable a level playing field for U.S. airlines, SAF producers, and feedstock suppliers
• Grow a robust and competitive market for SAF
• Create jobs and supports U.S. farmers and rural economies
• Increase U.S. fuel production and innovation

The SAF Coalition supports sustainable aviation fuel through the expansion and enhancement of SAF tax credits and well-designed, long-term incentives that promote SAF production and domestic job creation.
