2025 AIChE Annual Meeting
Session: Advances in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Production
This session will focus on the latest progress in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) technologies and production strategies, including, but not limited to, hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA), Fischer-Tropsch (FT), alcohol-to-jet (ATJ), and emerging biotechnologies. The areas covered will include feedstock development, catalytic process optimization, reactor design and scale-up, techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, and policy frameworks. The production of SAF presents a promising alternative to conventional jet fuels, enabling significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and fostering the transition towards a more sustainable aviation industry.
