The U.S. aviation industry needs 3 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030, 12 billion gallons of SAF by 2035 and 35 billion gallons of SAF per year by the year 2050. Enter SAFFiRE Renewables—pioneering sustainable aviation fuel from renewable ethanol in a manner that efficiently integrates with existing ethanol plants and infrastructure. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southwest Airlines Renewable Ventures, SAFFiRE (short for Sustainable Aviation Fuel From Renewable Ethanol)—is focused on the large scale commercialization of cellulosic ethanol, which can then be converted to SAF utilizing the Alcohol-to-Jet pathway. By transforming corn stover into ethanol, SAFFiRE's novel technology approach has the potential to fuel aviation's green transition and positions the U.S. agriculture and ethanol industries at the forefront of SAF growth. With potential to achieve carbon-negative status through enhancements and carbon capture, SAFFiRE's journey begins with designing and building a pilot plant hosted by Conestoga Energy , and is supported by industry leaders such as Southwest Airlines and LanzaJet, as well as the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Lab.
