SAF, green hydrogen, and Minnesota’s opportunity

from Decarbonize: The Clean Energy Podcast · host Fresh Energy

In this episode of Decarbonize: The Clean Energy Podcast, Fresh Energy's Isak Kvam is joined by Anjali Bains and Brandon Isakson to explore how Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and green hydrogen can help tackle one of the toughest transportation sectors to decarbonize: aviation. The conversation breaks down how power-to-liquid SAF, made from green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide, can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 90% while serving as a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel. Listeners will also learn why Minnesota is well positioned to become a leader in this emerging industry thanks to new state policies, abundant feedstocks, and growing private-sector investment. Tune in for an inside look at the technologies, policies, and economic opportunities that could help Minnesota chart a cleaner future for flight.Further reading:Minnesota now incentivizes green hydrogen to produce SAF, a key climate technologyWhat's up with Sustainable Aviation Fuel in Minnesota?The true cost of oilFresh Energy’s mission is to shape and drive bold policy solutions to achieve equitable carbon-neutral economies.
