Ethanol has carved out an important market for on-road fuel usage, but new opportunities are on the horizon with sustainable aviation fuel. According to Growth Energy Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Chris Bliley, SAF has the potential to be a 30 billion gallon per year market. “There’s a lot of investment on the sidelines today,” said Bliley. “President Biden talked about 95 percent of sustainable aviation jet fuel coming from America’s farmers, but we really need to see this policy come into place correctly.” After Tuesday’s SAF tax credit announcement, Growth Energy released a statement saying the all-or-nothing approach “may ultimately limit innovation and make farmers, blenders, and producers less, not more, likely to invest in emissions-reducing technologies.”
