This Refinery Wants to Make Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mainstream. Trump’s Cuts Could Kill It

Summary

The Koch Industries- owned Pine Bend Refinery in Rosemount , Minnesota would receive sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ) and blend it into its conventional jet fuel mix.

Federal incentives like this are “on life support” under the Trump administration, says Scott Irwin , a professor of agricultural and consumer economics at the University of Illinois .

Used cooking oils and waste fats are likely to serve as feedstock for the first 3 billion gallons of SAF production.

But those supplies are limited, and to move beyond them at scale, the industry will need to use plant-based feedstocks.

Growing demand means there will be a race for feedstocks to produce the fuel.
