The SAF working group, led by San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Arup, has just released a comprehensive guide that outlines a path to meeting future sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) needs at U.S. airports.

This publication demonstrates a sensible means by which airports nationwide can participate in decarbonization starting with infrastructure already in place, producing timely and positive benefits for the environment. The working group provides the insight airport leaders need to champion their own SAF strategies and increase SAF adoption.
