Stay strategic we are only beginning our fundamental growth upward and combined with this short pressure we could see some movement petty quickly.

The SAF Grand Challenge Targets

​Launched jointly by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Transportation (DOT), and Department of Agriculture (USDA), the initiative establishes two primary milestones:

​Near-Term (2030): Achieve production of 3 billion gallons of domestic SAF per year (a multi-fold increase from current operational production).

​Long-Term (2050): Produce 35 billion gallons annually, expanding supply to cover 100% of expected domestic commercial aviation fuel demand and helping the industry reach net-zero carbon emissions.

​2. Tax Credit Architecture under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)

​To bridge the price gap between conventional jet fuel and SAF, the IRA created a two-stage tax incentive framework:

​Section 40B SAF Credit (2023–2024): A baseline credit starting at $1.25 per gallon for SAF that achieves a minimum 50% lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction compared to conventional jet fuel. Fuels with higher lifecycle reductions qualified for an additional $0.01 per gallon for every percentage point above 50%, capped at $1.75 per gallon.

​Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit (2025–2027): Replaced Section 40B, shifting to a broader carbon-intensity (CI) technology-neutral model. Under 45Z, domestic SAF producers are eligible for a higher base incentive (up to $1.75 per gallon, adjusted for lifecycle performance), giving long-term investment visibility to producers using diverse feedstocks.
