Global Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) Fuel Market Size, Forecast and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Alcohol-To-Jet Fuel Market size was over USD 2.83 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 28.06 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing around 19.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of alcohol-to-jet fuel is estimated at USD 3.27 billion, fueled by growing emissions from aviation and the increased use of sustainable renewable ethanol and biodiesel in Europe.
The growth of the alcohol-to-jet fuel market can be attributed to the rising demand for biofuel. According to the data published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2023, worldwide biofuel production reached 2.2 million barrels per day. One of the technologically conceivable biofuel technologies is alcohol-to-jet (ATJ). By fermenting sugars into ethanol or other alcohols, it develops jet fuel from sugary, starchy, and lignocellulose biomass, including sugarcane, maize grain, and switch grass.
Additionally, the market is observing significant rapid growth on the back of rising pressure to reduce aviation emissions. Global governments are aiming to use sustainable aviation fuels, including ATJ, to eradicate pollution and meet the climate targets. For instance, in the U.S., the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge set a goal of using almost 3 billion gallons of SAF by 2030, primarily using ATJ. These factors are propelling the market growth during the forecasted period.
