The SAF Grand Challenge was launched in 2021 by DOE, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture with the goal of supplying sufficient SAF to meet all U.S. aviation fuel demand by 2050 and achieve at least a 50% reduction in life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fuel.
The RFI requested input from industry, academia, national laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders to identify opportunities for developing effective supply chains capable of meeting these SAF Grand Challenge goals. The RFI was open to the public for two months and collected feedback from stakeholders resulting in multiple key takeaways. The recommendations and perspectives captured are critical for understanding industry perspectives and needs as we work towards a more sustainable future for the aviation sector.
