By using lignin, an abundant, renewable biopolymer that has traditionally been underutilized due to its chemical recalcitrance, an aromatic SAF blendstock could be generated. As the largest source of renewable aromatics in nature, lignin could hold the answer to achieving a complete bio-based jet fuel. —Stone et al.
