Launched on May 24, 2023, the Clean Fuels & Products Shot is the seventh of DOE’s eight Energy Earthshots™ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 85% (compared to fossil fuel sources) by 2035. Additionally, the Clean Fuels & Products Shot aims to meet 100% of the 2050 projected demand for aviation fuel; 50% of maritime, rail, and off-road fuel; and 50% of carbon-based chemicals by using sustainable carbon resources. The Shot supports the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge and the Biden-Harris administration goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. 

Summit presentations, recordings, and transcripts are also available. View the Summit Day 1 and Day 2 presentation slides and video recordings.
