New Study Sees Competitive SAFJ Prices in Future
A recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory says that with tweaks to the production process, biofuels could be priced at a par with Jet A.

While the aviation industry is showing increasing interest in the use of sustainable alternative jet fuel (SAJF), price and meager supply remain key issues. But according to a new study by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DoE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, sustainable, plant-based jet biofuels could provide a competitive alternative to conventional jet fuels if currently planned development and scale-up initiatives continue to progress.
