Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group
In 2008, CEOs from leading global air carriers, environmental groups, fuel processing technology leaders and Boeing signed an industry-leading commitment to sustainability practices and principles, and to help accelerate the development, certification and commercial use of environmentally and socially sustainable aviation fuel for the future. With support and advice from two of the world’s leading environmental organizations, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group makes commercial aviation the first global transportation sector to voluntarily promote acceptance of sustainability practices into its fuel supply chain. In collaboration with Yale University and the NRDC, the group is focused on two initial research projects to conduct comprehensive sustainability assessments on biofuel feedstocks jatropha curcas and algae.

Algal Biomass Organization
Working with fuel technology leaders, academia and global air carriers, Boeing helped establish the Algal Biomass Organization, the first global trade association dedicated to advocacy and commercialization of algae as a renewable energy source.
