North America is poised to lead the global SAF production capacity additions, contributing over 40% of the total capacity by 2030. Standalone renewable refineries will be at the forefront, accounting for over 90% of the upcoming SAF production capacity in the region in 2030. This anticipated expansion is attributable to a combination of regulatory support, technological advancements, and increasing demand from airlines committed to reducing their carbon footprint.
North America also leads in terms of the upcoming refinery count, with most of them being standalone renewable refineries. Decatur Renewable in the US, as well as Manitoba Renewable and Portage la Prairie Renewable in Canada, are some of the major upcoming standalone renewable refineries in the region.
The US is anticipated to lead in both global and North American SAF production capacity from upcoming projects, representing approximately one-third of the worldwide production capacity by 2030. Standalone renewable refineries are projected to spearhead this growth, comprising more than 90% of the impending SAF production capacity within the country by the end of the decade. Additionally, the US holds a dominant position regarding the number of upcoming refineries, the majority of which are standalone renewable facilities. Decatur Renewable and Houston Renewable III are some of the major upcoming standalone renewable refineries in the country.
