Summary
Aviation Drop-in biofuels are here, ready today
- Have produced commercial scale quantities of fuels
- Will make up increasing share of energy pool
- Essential to overlay sustainability criteria (GHG, water)
Feedstock availability is an important enabler
- Bridging feedstocks build infrastructure and acceptance
- Second generation feedstock success is critical
- Diverse feedstock initiatives enable regional,
sustainable solutions

Most hurdles met, but some remain:

- Broadly available, cost competitive feeds
- Mitigation for financial risk
The Future of Drop-in Renewable
Biofuels is Now!
