Trump’s Biomass Bug Is Coming Back To Bite Fossil Fuels
Despite the sharp U-turn in federal energy policy, the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) movement is growing in the US, with winter camelina among the energy crops playing a role.
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.
