Moving toward sustainable aviation fuel at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
The Port of Seattle (the port) as the operator of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) has been a leader in supporting research and development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). After completing a collaborative effort to define a ‘flight path’ to create an SAF industry in Washington State, the port decided to shift toward a market development role. This role involves developing adequate infrastructure to receive, store and handle aviation biofuels; participating in programmes to reduce the incremental cost of aviation biofuels relative to fossil jet fuel; and finding means to send a market signal to incentivise regional aviation biofuels production. This paper discusses recent studies which laid the foundation for the port’s next steps. The studies, which were sponsored by the port, address infrastructure feasibility and funding.
