The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to SAF from Wet Wastes via Hydrothermal Liquefaction

Wet wastes could provide up to 6 billion gallons of SAF and saves on expensive alternative disposal processes that can reach as high as $4 per gallon of fuel. In this project, researchers propose a method to produce up to 1.5 billion gallons per year of SAF from wet waste (25 percent of fuels are in jet range), with the possibility of increasing overall volumes to 4B gallons via hydrocracking. Mike Thompson of PNNL gave this presentation on the project at DOE Project Peer Review.
