Three advanced biofuel projects will receive a combined $6 million to support the federal government’s efforts to boost production of sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency announced Inflation Reduction Act funding for the projects, focused on developing biofuel technologies using sustainable biomass and waste feedstocks. They also could provide industry with new ways to meet EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard requirements.

New York-based Air Company Holdings is getting $2 million for its work on converting carbon dioxide from biogenic waste into 100% drop-in SAF.
Two other companies got nearly $2 million each. Erg Bio, in Dublin, California, says it has a “pioneering approach” that uses a broad range of biomass feedstocks “to generate high yields of bioproducts with extremely low carbon intensities and GHG emissions.”
New Hampshire-based Terragia Biofuels received funding for a project aiming to advance corn stover conversion to ethanol through consolidated bioprocessing with engineered thermophilic bacteria.
