Every year, the nation’s aviation industry uses around 22 billion gallons of jet fuel, which produces about 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide—or 3% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. Because of this, researchers and policymakers alike are eyeing aviation as an industry ripe with opportunity to lower emissions. One way to reduce emissions? Reuse society’s waste and turn it into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
