Sustainable Aviation Fuel Pilot Program
Item No. 10a_supp Meeting Date: May 23, 2023 Sustainable Aviation Fuel Pilot Program Authorization Sarah Cox, Director, Aviation Environment and Sustainability Stephanie Meyn, Climate Program Manager Outline • Background • Purpose of the Pilot Program • How the Pilot Program Will Work • Anticipated Timeline • Authorization Request 2 Port Goal to Reduce Emissions Port has several goals and strategies to reduce aircraft-related emissions and increase use of sustainable aviation fuel: • Century Agenda: Reduce GHG and air pollutant emissions 50% by 2030 • 10% SAF at SEA by 2028 • Sustainable Aviation Fuel Strategic Plan 3 Purpose of the SAF Pilot Program SEA Airport will purchase the air pollution emission reduction benefits of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from airlines. Purpose: • Test an innovative airport program to buy SAF air pollution (aka “non-CO2”) attributes • Understand SAF delivery & supply chain issues • Make progress on our 10% SAF by 2028 goal and Century Agenda goals 4 SAF Energy Attributes of SAF Environmental Attributes of SAF Lower Lifecycle Propulsion Fewer Air GHG Emissions Pollutants 5 5 SAF Lower Lifecycle GHG Emissions Fewer Air Pollutants $ ? $ Regulatory Voluntary Regulatory Voluntary Established Attribute Market Launching a Market 6 Benefits of the Pilot Program • Develop and gain experience in SAF attribute market • Better understand SAF delivery supply chain • Compared to jet fuel, SAF combustion reduces Scope 3 emissions and creates: 80% less ultrafine particulate 90% less sulfur 7 How the Program Will Work • $1 million total available • Port will pay the equivalent of $1 per gallon of “neat” or pure SAF used at SEA • Airlines will submit evidence of total SAF delivered in 2023 to receive single payment from Port for air pollution reduction attributes 8 Anticipated Timeline 2023 • June – Release contract & specific program details to airlines • July – Airlines begin signing agreements with Port • SAF deliveries until Dec 31 2024 • Jan/Feb - One-time payments to airlines 9 Authorization Request Authorization for the Executive Director to execute contracts with eligible airlines for air pollution emission reductions of qualifying sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) fueled and used at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of a pilot project not to exceed a total cost of $1,000,000. 10
Limitations of Translatable Documents
PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
