With new guidance expected Tuesday on what will qualify for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) tax credits, a new coalition of SAF stakeholders was announced Monday in an effort to to “accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels.”

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Coalition consists of over 40 companies and organizations that hold a stake in the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel, including airlines and aircraft operators, agricultural enterprises, aircraft and aircraft equipment manufacturers, airports, technology developers, labor unions and biofuel producers.

“SAF will enhance domestic energy security, create new markets for American farmers, reduce aviation emissions and drive next-generation technology development,” said Alison Graab, Executive Director, SAF Coalition. “The membership of this coalition shows the deep support that SAF enjoys across aviation’s many stakeholders. Federal policies that support and increase SAF production will create jobs, spur innovation, reduce the environmental impacts of jet fuel, and enhance American energy security.”

Members of the coalition include names such as American Airlines, Gevo, LanzaJet, Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), and Summit Agricultural Group.

“Expanding the availability of sustainable aviation fuel is an important part of decarbonizing the transportation sector, and the U.S. ethanol industry stands ready to play a vital role in this transition,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “The SAF Coalition’s diverse membership is a reflection of the exciting future that lies ahead for the renewable fuels industry and our partners up and down the supply chain.”
