Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act
The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act establishes national goals for reducing aviation greenhouse gas emissions, aiming for a 35% reduction by 2035 and net zero by 2050 compared to 2005 levels. It creates a low-carbon fuel standard requiring a 20% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 and 50% by 2050, with a credit system allowing producers of sustainable aviation fuel to generate credits for sale to those who don't meet the standard. The bill requires the Department of Defense to purchase at least 10% sustainable aviation fuel for military aircraft by 2025 if cost-competitive and produced domestically. It also provides funding for research through the FAA and Department of Energy, and extends tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel production through 2032.
