How can U.S. state SAF policies pave the way for decarbonization?

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are essential for aviation decarbonization but make up less than 1% of United States jet fuel consumption. Coupled with federal tax incentives, U.S. states have adopted their own policies to incentivize SAF consumption. And while U.S. state policies can contribute to further SAF adoption, getting the details right can ensure that SAF policies achieve intended benefits.

This webinar will review existing and proposed statewide SAF policies with an emphasis on the risks and opportunities presented by different types of alternative fuels. ICCT experts will discuss their assessment of domestic supply potential for different SAFs, the risk of policy-driven shuffling of fuels between states and sectors, and recommendations for how state SAF policies can best contribute to long-term aviation decarbonization.

After the presentation, there will be a Q&A on the role of SAF and SAF policies in reducing U.S. transportation greenhouse gas emissions.
