How SAF Production Unlocks Greater Fuel Supply Resilience
California's ability to make SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) in Northern California creates three interconnected mechanisms that improve the state's gasoline supply: by growing volume through blending renewable naphtha from the SAF process into the gasoline blending; changing operations of in-state petroleum refineries to make more gasoline; and by shifting import logistics from petroleum jet fuel to gasoline.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Air Quality and Public Health
This white paper reviews the scientific evidence on how sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) affects air quality and public health. In addition to its climate benefits, SAF, particularly low aromatic and low sulfur pathways such as HEFA, has been shown to reduce aircraft particulate emissions associated with respiratory and cardiovascular disease in near airport communities.
Position Statement
Aviation is the fastest-growing source of carbon pollution. With smart incentives, sustainable aviation fuel can immediately cut emissions while boosting innovation and competitiveness. The statement lays out the key policies needed to scale SAF.
