The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Strategic Fuels

This  presentation deck for Strategic Fuels outlines a proposed project for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from forestry waste in Louisiana, with a focus on achieving an “ultra-negative carbon footprint.” The project aims to utilize forestry thinnings, sawmill waste, and other wood-based feedstocks to create a low-carbon fuel that can be blended with conventional jet fuel, resulting in a net-zero carbon emissions outcome for airlines. The presentation deck details the process for sourcing and converting forestry waste into SAF, including a bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) system to permanently sequester carbon emissions. The project’s success hinges on the availability of forestry waste, the cost-effectiveness of fuel production, and the regulatory approval of carbon sequestration techniques. The presentation deck highlights the potential for this project to contribute significantly to the aviation industry’s sustainability goals while creating economic opportunities in Louisiana.
