The Digest’s 2026 Multi-Slide Guide to USDA Bioenergy & SAF Policy Programs

November 9, 2026 |

The Story: Presented by Chris Cassidy of USDA Rural Development at the Cascadia Sustainable Aviation Accelerator, this presentation details federal support for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and bioenergy. It outlines interagency coordination across federal departments and highlights Cascadia’s diverse biomass feedstocks, including forestry, agricultural residues, and waste streams. Key USDA financing mechanisms are featured—such as Section 9003 Biorefinery Loans, REAP (9007), BioPreferred (9002), and REDLG grants—aimed at scaling advanced bioeconomy technologies, expanding rural commercial markets, and driving significant greenhouse gas reductions.
