Can North America Turn eSAF Potential into Commercial Scale?

North America has the renewable resources, industrial infrastructure and technology developers to become a major producer of efuels. eSAF will not replace bio-based SAF in the immediate market - HEFA, AtJ, gasification and more will all build meaningful North American supply. But efuels are becoming strategically important now, because the projects that could supply the early 2030s must reach key development, contracting and construction milestones much sooner.
