Cleaner skies ahead with sustainable aviation fuel
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50-80% and is usable in today's aircraft without modification. Massachusetts is taking steps to promote SAF adoption, including a proposed tax incentive for airlines that use it.
Aviation is a hard sector to decarbonize, but sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a viable solution. SAF can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50-80% and cuts particulate pollution, improving air quality near airports. It is made from renewable feedstocks like used cooking oil, waste fats, and agricultural residues. Massachusetts is promoting SAF adoption through initiatives like a proposed tax incentive for airlines. The state's efforts could attract businesses and STEM jobs to produce SAF. Local companies like Sora Fuel and Lydian Labs are advancing clean fuel technologies that could benefit from such policies.
