US Roadmap for SAF

SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap - Flight plan for sustainable aviation fuel

Private and government federal agencies across the USA have collaborated to produce the SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap - Flight Plan for Sustainable Aviation Fuel. The roadmap outlines a whole-of-government approach with coordinated policies and specific activities that should be undertaken by the federal agencies to support achievement of both the 2030 and 2050 goals of the SAF Grand Challenge. This roadmap ensures alignment of government and industry actions and coordinate government policies to achieve the goals of the SAF Grand Challenge. This includes coordination in the formation and execution of plans in research, development, demonstration, and deployment.

The roadmap lays out six action areas spanning all activities with the potential to impact the SAF Grand Challenge objectives of (1) expanding SAF supply and end use, (2) reducing the cost of SAF, and (3) enhancing the sustainability of SAF:

  1. Feedstock Innovation (FI)
  2. Conversion Technology Innovation (CT)
  3. Building Supply Chains (SC)
  4. Policy and Valuation Analysis (PA)
  5. Enabling End Use (EU)
  6. Communicating Progress and Building Support (CP).
