Expands U.S. Department of Agriculture bioenergy programs to include sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and sets a clear federal definition for what counts as SAF. It directs USDA to lead and coordinate efforts to speed up SAF development, commercialization, and rural economic benefits. It defines technical and environmental standards for SAF, including at least a 50% lifecycle greenhouse gas reduction compared to conventional jet fuel and limits on eligible feedstocks and processing methods. It also updates an existing USDA assistance program for biorefineries and biobased products so it explicitly supports SAF projects.
Enable access for sustainable aviation fuels within Department of Agriculture bio-energy programs to foster alternative biofuels in national aviation, expand the fuel supply, promote clean energy sources, and support United States agriculture.
Recognize the critical role the United States agricultural sector plays in the production of sustainable aviation fuel and the importance of such fuel to achieving the goals of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge.
Sustainable aviation fuels have the capacity to increase domestic energy security, support the agricultural sector, and foster the farm economy by accelerating the availability of a commercially viable and sustainable aviation biofuel industry in the United States.
Sustainable aviation fuels provide a critical opportunity to support farmers of the United States and the rest of the agricultural sector in the sector’s partnership with the aviation sector to support rural economic development.
Feedstocks have been identified for sustainable aviation fuels due to the collective abundance and perceived sustainability attributes of such feedstocks.
Adds a new purpose to subsection (a) to 'foster and advance sustainable aviation fuels.'
Amends the definitions in 7 U.S.C. 8101 by (1) inserting a new clause in paragraph (3)(B) to include "biofuel, including sustainable aviation fuel, produced from an intermediate ingredient or feedstock" and redesignating subsequent clauses, and (2) adding a new paragraph (18) that defines "sustainable aviation fuel" and related terms and criteria (standards, feedstock restrictions, and lifecycle GHG reduction certification).
