Alcohol-to-Jet Fuel Market Size

Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) Fuel Market size was over USD 2.83 billion in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 26.86 billion by 2037, witnessing over 18.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of alcohol-to-jet fuel is evaluated at USD 3.75 billion.

The major factor to boost the growth of the market is the rise in demand for biofuel. For instance, the demand for biofuel all across the world is expected to rise by about 40 billion liters or over 27% between 2021-2026.  One of the technologically conceivable biofuel technologies is alcohol-to-jet (ATJ). By fermenting sugars into ethanol or other alcohols, it creates jet fuel from sugary, starchy, and lignocellulose biomass, including sugarcane, maize grain, and switch grass.

Moreover, there has been growing stringent regulation by the government in order to control pollution. The primary way that frequent travelers contribute to climate change is through air travel. Climate change is greatly accelerated by aviation emissions. Airplanes use fossil fuel, which not only emits CO2, but also has considerable non-CO2 warming impacts resulting from nitrogen oxides (NOx), vapor trails, and cloud formation caused by the height at which aircraft operate. Therefore, are putting in efforts in order to encourage the adoption of alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) fuel.
