SAF Challenge

CAAFI Supports the
U.S. Government’s SAF
Grand Challenge

The SAF Grand Challenge has the key objectives of: 1) expanding U.S. SAF supply and end use; 2) reducing the cost of SAF, and; 3) enhancing the sustainability of SAF. The supply goals include:

 

​

Multiple government agencies are working together to achieve these goals through the implementation of the SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap.

CAAFI's Specific Role:

CAAFI - Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative is working with our public, private, and non-governmental sector stakeholders to support SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap implementation.  The Roadmap utilizes the following nested structure:

​

Action Areas - Six primary themes of emphasis

Workstreams - Critical topics to be addressed

Activities - Specific efforts of execution

​

The work of CAAFI will take various forms in support of the Roadmap.  For instance, CAAFI has developed resources that support knowledge dissemination and communication about SAF to aid stakeholders in all Action Areas. In other cases, CAAFI might organize, lead, or advise certain activities like a task force or workshop designed to inform Roadmap leadership.  In the following section, you will find links to help you navigate to relevant CAAFI content focused on the Action Areas.  Stay tuned for progress on these efforts in 1H'23.
