Looking to amplify its efforts to establish supply chains for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) across the U.S., the FAA last week awarded more than $1.4 million in research funds to five universities—Washington State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Tennessee, University of Hawaii, and Purdue University. Each university will concentrate its efforts in a specific area, ranging from understanding land-use impacts of SAF to the retrofitting of existing agri-business mills and petroleum refineries to use forest byproducts and other waste materials in producing SAF to evaluating supply chains.
