Fueling Up Sustainable Aviation

The Rocky Mountain region (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming) possesses the feedstocks, industrial infrastructure, and legislative support necessary to develop a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry, yet it currently lacks substantial production. This roadmap examines regional feedstock availability and policy mechanisms to align the region with the US SAF Grand Challenge and outlines actions for short-, medium-, and long-term SAF development.

• The Rocky Mountain region (RMR) is well-positioned for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) deployment due to growing demand, available feedstocks, industrial infrastructure, and legislative support, although it currently lacks significant production.
• The report serves as a roadmap to identify strategies for bridging SAF supply gaps in the RMR by analyzing feedstock availability, production pathways, and alignment with the US SAF Grand Challenge.
