Production capacity of sustainable aviation fuel in the United States could jump by 1400% in 2024 if all announced capacity additions come on line, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said.
Other biofuels, according to the EIA, includes sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable heating oil, renewable naphtha, renewable propane, renewable gasoline, and other emerging biofuels that are in various stages of development and commercialization.
Reuters reported that “Phillips 66’s Rodeo facility in California reached its renewable fuel production target of 50,000 bpd in June, of which 10,000 bpd is SAF. Valero’s Diamond Green project, in partnership with Darling Ingredients, at its Port Arthur, Texas refinery is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of this year and produce 15,000 bpd of SAF by the end of 2024.”
The International Air Transport Association reported at the beginning of June “that its projections for a tripling of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) production in 2024 to 1.9 billion liters (1.5 million tonnes) are on track. This would account for 0.53% of aviation’s fuel need in 2024.”
