North America Renewable Aviation Fuel Market Analysis

The market for renewable aviation fuel in North America is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 60% during the forecast period of 2022 - 2027.

COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels.

  • Supportive government policies such as the introduction of carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation (CORSIA), by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and potential economic advantages along with the long-term growth in the aviation industry such as increasing number of air passengers, on account of the cheaper airfare and more robust economic conditions with increasing disposable income are the major factors that are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
  • On the other hand, the high cost of renewable aviation fuels is expected to hinder market growth.
  • Increasing concerns over emissions from the airline industry and government initiatives in developed economies to reduce airline emissions are expected to provide significant opportunities for renewable aviation fuel in the future.
  • United States is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period, owing to the vast number of production facilities like Fulcrum Sierra Biofuels of gasification, FT technology, etc., present in the country.

North America Renewable Aviation Fuel Market Size Summary

The North America renewable aviation fuel market is poised for significant growth, driven by supportive government policies and the long-term expansion of the aviation industry. Initiatives like the carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation by ICAO are pivotal in promoting market growth. The increasing number of air passengers, fueled by affordable airfare and rising disposable incomes, further bolsters the market. However, the high cost of renewable aviation fuels presents a challenge to market expansion. The United States is anticipated to lead the market, supported by numerous production facilities and federal agencies' efforts to commercialize renewable fuel production. The defense sector's substantial fuel consumption and its push for environmentally friendly alternatives also contribute to the market's growth trajectory.

The military sector, particularly in the United States, plays a crucial role in the renewable aviation fuel market's development. With significant fuel consumption, the military's initiatives to blend biofuels with conventional fuels and the construction of bio-refineries underscore the sector's commitment to reducing emissions. Collaborations with companies like Honeywell and projects such as the conversion of carbon dioxide into jet fuel highlight the sector's innovative approaches. Additionally, agreements like the one between Aemetis and Qantas Airways to supply blended renewable aviation fuel further illustrate the market's potential. The existing framework of fuel policies in North America, along with strategic partnerships and technological advancements, is expected to enhance opportunities for renewable aviation fuel production, particularly hydro-processed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) fuels, in the region.
