In India, BioEnergy Times reported that XCF Global has said that policy support across the United States is driving rapid growth in the SAF sector.
The company noted that under the U.S. SAF Grand Challenge, the federal government aims to produce 3 billion gallons of SAF annually by 2030 and scale up to 35 billion gallons by 2050 to meet all domestic demand. Current production remains below 1% of U.S. jet fuel use, highlighting the size of the challenge and the opportunity ahead, according to the report.
“Policy momentum is transforming aspiration into execution,” said Chris Cooper, CEO of XCF Global. “The U.S. is making it clear that sustainable aviation fuel is essential to the future of aviation. With supportive federal and state policies, airlines and energy companies can move past trial stages and commit to long-term, scalable decarbonization strategies.”
XCF Global has invested about $350 million in its primary New Rise Reno facility and is developing three more project sites. The second plant, New Rise Reno 2, will be built next to the current facility, sharing utilities and logistics systems to improve efficiency. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with operations starting in 2028 after an additional $300 million investment. The expansion is expected to double output to around 80 million gallons per year, the report added.
