DEEP DIVE: The Global Scramble for Jet Fuel Feedstock


A focused deep dive into the fierce global competition to secure feedstocks for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Used cooking oil prices are soaring, HEFA technology is hitting its ceiling, and new pathways like LanzaJet's alcohol-to-jet breakthrough are reshaping the landscape.


Key topics covered:

• Why the US imports 2.8 billion pounds of used cooking oil from China

• How LanzaJet's Georgia facility changes the economics of SAF production

• China's bold bet on municipal solid waste and Fischer-Tropsch technology

• The real cost comparison: HEFA vs alcohol-to-jet vs Fischer-Tropsch vs power-to-liquid

• CORSIA Phase 1 and European mandates driving demand

• Which technology pathway will dominate by 2030


The SAF race isn't about the best technology — it's about who can build the most robust, scalable feedstock supply chain.
