AI Sustainable Aviation Fuel

AI for sustainable aviation fuel production and supply chain optimization

The Problem

Scale sustainable aviation fuel with lower cost

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

Feedstock supply uncertainty and price volatility (waste oils, tallow, corn stover, MSW) leading to margin swings and underutilized capacity

2

Difficulty maintaining low carbon intensity while optimizing yield, hydrogen use, and catalyst performance across SAF pathways (HEFA, ATJ, FT)

3

Fragmented compliance data and manual chain-of-custody tracking causing slow certification, audit risk, and lost environmental credit value

Impact When Solved

5–12% reduction in delivered SAF cost via integrated process + logistics optimization1–3% yield uplift and 1–2 pp uptime improvement, adding 3–8 MGY output for a 100 MGY plant50–80% faster compliance reporting and 30–60% fewer audit exceptions, improving credit monetization and reducing regulatory risk
