AI Summary

President Donald Trump’s “American Energy Dominance” plan includes biomass alongside fossil fuels. In the United States, biomass has performed poorly as a power‑generation resource but has displaced petroleum in the automotive market through corn ethanol. Stakeholders are now targeting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with biomass, though progress has been limited. Animal fats, used cooking oil, and other waste oils have achieved only modest success in SAF production. Recent activity has begun around plant‑based inputs, notably winter camelina, as a potential SAF feedstock.
