Sustainable Aviation Fuel: How Minnesota can get it right.

November 21 @ 10:00 am 11:00 am

Aviation accounts for nearly 10% of greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the United States. With emissions from aircrafts on the rise, federal and state governments are urgently seeking ways to reduce aviation industry emissions through low-carbon fuel pathways that can benefit communities, mitigate climate impacts, and drive business development. But what is sustainable aviation fuel and the possibilities (and perils) it can present?

Minnesota is at an inflection point. The choices made now about our state’s approach to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will have an impact for decades to come.

This webinar is for anyone interested in learning more about the possibilities and perils of SAF, especially those working within state agencies, agriculture, economic development, advocacy, and academia.

During the webinar, we will unpack what SAF is and how it fits into decarbonizing emissions from aviation, discuss the Minnesota Sustainable Aviation Fuels Guiding Principles created by partner organizations Fresh Energy, Friends of the Mississippi River, and The Nature Conservancy, and explain what could be next for SAF in Minnesota and beyond.

Register today and join Fresh Energy, Friends of the Mississippi River, and The Nature Conservancy on Thursday, November 21 at 10 a.m. Central to learn more.
