Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge

BR&D Board members and their respective federal agencies are leveraging federal capabilities to support the Biden-Harris Administration’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge 2030 and 2050 goals.

In partnership with national laboratories, nongovernmental organizations, and the aviation, agricultural, and energy industries, the BR&D federal agency collaboration has developed the SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap, the Implementation Framework, and the metrics dashboard to track progress toward SAF Grand Challenge goals.
