Could sustainable aviation fuel provide the next big growth opportunity for the renewable fuels industry? Some renewable fuel industry experts think SAF could power the next expansion of the industry.
Sustainable aviation fuel is a renewable fuel used to power airplanes says Tad Hepner, vice president of strategy and innovation for the Renewable Fuels Association.
The U.S. is already producing some sustainable aviation fuel, but there’s a need for more infrastructure in place before the industry can grow.
Corn and soybean farmers are going to see a lot of opportunity as the sustainable aviation fuel industry continues to grow, says Hepner.
He says that if demand increases for a feedstock that farmers produce, it can mean higher prices in the future.
Geoff Cooper, president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, told the IARN in August that SAF could be a massive growth opportunity for the ethanol industry.
That’s Tad Hepner and Geoff Cooper of the Renewable Fuels Association.
