Abstract:

This report identifies criteria that can be used to evaluate the sustainability of biofuels introduced into the aviation fuel supply chain. It describes the inputs, criteria and outputs that can be used in a sustainability rating system. It identifies two methodological approaches for assessing lifecycle biofuel sustainability from feedstock production to an airport’s fuel tank farm.

The report describes three categories of sustainability principles, criteria and indicators: environmental, social and economic. Elements of rating systems are analyzed, including outputs that can provide useful information to purchasers of aviation biofuel. It concludes with recommendations for policy makers and purchasers of aviation biofuel.

Research for the report revealed a long historical context for the consideration of sustainability by U.S. government policy makers stretching back to the enactment of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 which itself echoed sentiments prominent in the conservation movements of the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries.
