US to lead SAF production by 2030, report finds

November 8, 2023 |

In New York, Airport Technology reported that the US, China and Singapore are set to have the biggest increases in sustainable aviation fuel production capacity by the next decade, according to a new report by GlobalData.

The Global SAF Production Capacity Outlook report by GlobalData’s oil and gas intelligence team forecasted that the US will have a SAF production capacity of more than 1,200 million gallons per year by 2030.

Tejomoortula Soorya Sreenivasu, associate project manager for oil and gas at GlobalData, said: “Traditionally… US and European countries are at the forefront of this and the energy transition as they will put proposals in place for renewable fuels and because of their efforts to become carbon neutral by 2050 or 2060.”

“Especially if you look at the European Union, a few countries such as France and Ireland have already mandated the use of SAF in aircraft engine operations for the aviation sector to cut down the use of fossil fuel-based aviation fuels,” the analyst said.
