Sustainable Advanced Biofuel Refiners (www.sabrcoalition.org) is a coalition of members that built out America’s first advanced biofuel—biodiesel. Biodiesel is the most cost-effective means to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from heavy-duty vehicles, providing numerous economic, environmental, and performance benefits. It is sustainably sourced from agricultural products like soybean oil, animal fat, and used cooking oil. SABR represents every link in the value chain from farmers to biodiesel producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers, and infrastructure/products/services suppliers.
SABR members have invested heavily in meeting the nation’s goals of the Renewable Fuel Standard. SABR is supportive of all biofuels including renewable diesel and SAF and strives to grow the RFS program. However, because these newer fuels have been improperly categorized as “biodiesel” in the biomass-based diesel category – as these fuels come online, they don’t displace any new carbon. They displace lower carbon biodiesel at a higher cost to taxpayers and consumers. These policy flaws are fixable. SABR’s top four priorities are:
1. Extend the Blender’s tax credit (40A) to buy time to fix the fundamental flaws in the Clean Transportation Production Credit (45Z) and get the implementing regulations in place.
2. Increase volumes to at least 5.25 billion gallons in the 2026 RVOs.
3. Make Jet fuel an obligated fuel, consistent with the all-of-government SAF Grand Challenge, and create an RVO category for SAF to address this new obligation.
4. Fix the inflated equivalence values for RD and SAF to account for them consistent with other biofuels including biodiesel and ethanol.
Making these four modest policy adjustments would put all biofuels on a more level playing field and allow investments in new fuels to grow the RFS to reduce more carbon rather than just cannibalize previous decarbonization investments in the ground transportation sector.

Since 2006, the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) has sought to enhance energy security and environmental sustainability for aviation through the use of alternative jet fuels. CAAFI is a coalition of airlines, aircraft and engine manufacturers, energy producers, researchers, international participants, and U.S. government agencies. Together these stakeholders are leading the development and deployment of alternative jet fuels for commercial aviation.
CAAFI’s goal is to promote the development, assessment, and deployment of alternative jet fuel options that offer equivalent safety and favorable costs compared with petroleum-based jet fuel while offering environmental improvement and energy supply security for aviation.
