From pioneering technical advancements to commercial aviation dominance, the United States has been a leader in the aviation sector since the industry’s inception. In today’s era of global economic development, the aviation industry is projecting major growth and major challenges in the context of rising greenhouse gas emissions. Among the best options for reducing emissions in the near- to mid-term is the deployment and uptake of non-petroleum jet fuel, commonly called Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Following the inaugural year of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Technology Working Group, this new brief outlines four policy recommendations to remove key barriers and support the sustainable commercialization of this critical technology. 📖 https://lnkd.in/exqK3uVE #sustainableaviationfuel #SAF #lowcarbonfuel #cleanenergy
