American farmers are ready to make the United States the world’s leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel, which currently represents the most promising pathway to achieving net zero carbon emissions in aviation. We just need decision makers in Washington to put smart policies in place that justify the significant investments in climate-smart agriculture practices that are needed for SAF to truly take flight.
To help achieve its bold goal of increasing domestic SAF production to 35 billion gallons annually by 2050, the administration is trying to incentivize farmers to play their part and recently released the long-awaited, revised GREET model guidance. The administration’s effort took only a half step forward in advancing sustainable agriculture practices.
