Abstract
The Washington AJF Work Group seeks to further the development of sustainable aviation as a productive industry in Washington state. Through RCW 28B.30.646, the AJF Work Group is continued through December 2028.1 The legislation appointed the Washington State University Office of Clean Technology, now the Office of National Laboratory Partnerships, as the convening body. The AJF Work Group is directed to provide a report, including any pertinent recommendations, to the governor and appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2024, and December 1st of every even-numbered year until December 1, 2028.
In this report, when referring to federal legislation the term Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is used. When referring to Washington state legislation and the California Air Resources Board, the broader term Alternative Jet Fuel (AJF) is used. This report builds on the AJF Work Group’s 2022 report, Sustainable Aviation Fuel- Updates and Recommendations (Opportunities for Washington),2 previous statewide and regional partnerships which document the need for, and challenges with, siting and funding SAF production facilities. It also provides updates on national and international developments that support SAF development and deployment.
The facilitation team convened the Washington AJF Work Group to share information and updates, identify opportunities, and develop consensus recommendations. The Washington AJF Work Group met virtually in July 2023, and in-person September 2023, May 2024, and September 2024. A subcommittee was formed to draft policy recommendations for consideration by the full Washington AJF Work Group membership. The subcommittee met virtually in June, July, August, and October 2024. During the September 2024 meeting, the full Washington AJF Work Group discussed and refined the outline and policy recommendations for this report.
