ESG Focus Areas
- Climate Change
Environmental Achievements
- 16.5 million gallons of SAF produced in 2024 (as of August), surpassing 2023's total production of 15 million gallons.
- Early evidence suggests certain SAF blends reduce particulate matter emissions and contrail formation.
Social Achievements
- Potential for over 70,000 jobs across the SAF value chain by 2030.
- In 2030, 45% of announced SAF production (with announced locations) is located in disadvantaged communities.
Governance Achievements
- Not disclosed
Climate Goals & Targets
Long-term Goals:
- 35 billion gallons of SAF per year domestically by 2050 (100% of projected U.S. jet fuel demand).
Medium-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Short-term Goals:
- 3 billion gallons of domestic SAF production per year by 2030 (10% of jet fuel demand).
Environmental Challenges
- SAF costs 2-10 times more than fossil jet fuel.
- Uncertain demand due to insufficient mechanisms to value SAF's environmental benefits.
- Short-term federal production tax credits (expiring by 2027).
- Limited biofeedstock availability.
- Inconsistency in foreign SAF mandates.
Mitigation Strategies
- Federal and state incentives to lower production costs.
- Exploration of innovative offtake agreements (e.g., three-way agreements, price collars).
- Investment in upstream supply chains and alternative feedstocks.
- Standardization of SAF's environmental attributes.
- Harmonization of international SAF policies.
Supply Chain Management
Supplier Audits: Not disclosed
Responsible Procurement
- Emphasis on securing low-cost, readily available feedstocks.
