BETO Webinar: DOE's Progress Toward Meeting the Goals of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge
Join the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, from 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. ET, for a webinar titled, “DOE’s Progress Toward Meeting the Goals of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Grand Challenge.” The SAF Grand Challenge is a government-wide commitment to scale up production of SAF to 35 billion gallons per year by 2050 and reduce lifecycle aviation greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to conventional fuel.
The upcoming webinar is an effort to increase SAF awareness and communicate the progress and impact of the SAF Grand Challenge. Attendees will learn about DOE’s focus on:
- SAF priorities and program alignment with the SAF Grand Challenge Roadmap,
- Implementation planning, and
- Stakeholder engagement and outreach.
The webinar will feature speakers from BETO, including Director Dr. Valerie Reed, who will share information about the six actions areas outlined in the Roadmap that support the Grand Challenge goals. Scheduled BETO speakers include:
-
Dr. Valerie Reed: Director – Program Overview
