Luxury FBO Million Air Austin (KAUS) and leading fuel supplier Avfuel Corp. came together to boost sustainable aviation operations at Austin Bergstrom International Airport with the addition of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
In 2025, SAF output is expected to reach 1.9 million metric tons (Mt) (2.4 billion liters), double the 1 Mt produced in 2024, according to the IATA. However, in 2026, SAF production growth is projected to slow down and reach 2.4 Mt.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reduced its 2026 production forecast for renewable diesel in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released Dec. 9. The production forecast for other biofuels, including SAF, was maintained.
A new economic analysis finds that EPA’s proposal to assign 50% of the RIN credits to imported biofuels and biofuels made from imported feedstocks compared to domestic would strengthen domestic soybean markets.
Reps. Sharice Davids, D-Kan.; Mike Flood, R-Neb.; Troy Carter, D-La.; and Tracey Mann, R-Kan., on Dec. 9 introduced legislation that aims to reinstate the 45Z clean fuel production credit premium for SAF and extend the 45Z credit through 2033.
