The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) held an informational webinar on May 30, 2024, on the recently released Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge: Building Supply Chains Request for Information (RFI) Summary Report.
The report, published in May 2024, summarizes stakeholder responses to the RFI. The RFI was released in an effort to understand barriers and opportunities related to the “Building Supply Chains” action area of the SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap. The RFI requested feedback from stakeholders across the SAF supply chain—from feedstock production through final end use, and all points in between. Stakeholders were asked to respond to five questions related to:
- Building regional supply chain coalitions.
- Modeling and simulation tools needed to enable build-out of the SAF supply chain.
- Identifying and overcoming critical gaps in the demonstration of SAF supply chain elements.
- Addressing barriers to scaling and commercial build-out of SAF supply chain elements.
- The government’s role in informing SAF stakeholders about investors and financial structures available in the SAF ecosystem.
View the full SAF Grand Challenge - Building Supply Chains RFI Summary Report to learn about opportunities to develop effective SAF supply chains to optimize and meet rising SAF demand.
