In Washington, Alaskan Airlines said that Washington State leaders, aviation industry partners, research institutions, Tribal representatives and sustainability advocates today launched the Cascadia Sustainable Aviation Accelerator (CSAA).
Announced at the Boeing Future of Flight, the initiative is the most comprehensive and well-funded across the region of its kind to accelerate the production, deployment and adoption of sustainable aviation fuel , the airline said.
Funded through a 2025 State of Washington appropriation and private philanthropic donation of an additional $10 million, the CSAA positions the Pacific Northwest as a global leader in an accelerated transition to sustainable aviation fuel while capitalizing on the once-in-a-generation economic opportunity of scaling local SAF production.
In partnership with the Washington State Department of Commerce, CSAA is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the renewable fuels industry in the Pacific Northwest, the airline added.
