Reducing aviation carbon emissions through U.S. sustainable aviation fuels

Dr Reyhaneh Shenassa, from U.S. Department of Energy, explains how U.S. sustainable aviation fuels will reduce aviation carbon emissions.
Renewable carbon resources are carbon-based resources that are frequently regenerated, either via photosynthesis (e.g., plant, algae biomass) or through regular generation of carbon-based waste (e.g., the non-recycled portion of municipal solid waste, biosolids, sludges, plastics, carbon dioxide, industrial waste gases). This contrasts with finite carbon resources, such as petroleum and coal, which take millennia to regenerate.
