Announced on Thursday at Boeing Future of Flight, the museum located adjacent to Boeing’s Everett production facility, the Cascadia Sustainable Aviation Accelerator (CSAA) aims to ramp the region’s SAF production capacity to one billion gallons per year by 2035.
CSAA has so far raised $20 million for the initiative; it received $10 million in Washington state appropriations in 2025, which was matched by a $10 million philanthropic donation. According to CSAA, it is the most comprehensive and well-funded SAF initiative in the region.
Boeing is one of the founding partners of the CSAA, alongside Alaska Airlines, Earth Finance, Snohomish County, the Port of Seattle, Microsoft, Washington State University, Amazon, and the Washington Department of Commerce.

I have yet to see a viable SAF. Costly and not anywhere near enough to make any difference.
It would help to have the figures of how much Jet Fuel is used in the US and what a billion gallons means.
I am not against it, but to be viable would require a mandate.
