Airlines at SFO currently use over 1 billion gallons of jet fuel annually. If sustainable aviation fuel suppliers are able to increase global supply from the current 5 million gallons per year to 500 million gallons per year,
Technically feasible yes.A long way to commercially viable. Unfortunately, that is a press release, noting a 'study'.

To produce sufficient bio-fuel for 10% of US airline ASK would require an area the size of Florida.
