Sustainable Aviation Fuel Information Act

This bill would make the federal government share clear, regular data about sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The Energy Information Administration would add SAF facts to its routine energy reports, showing what kinds of materials are used to make it, where those materials come from, and how much SAF is made in each state, across the United States, and—when possible—in other countries. It would also report how much SAF the U.S. imports and from which countries. The data must be collected in a reliable way and avoid double counting. The bill uses the existing federal definition of “sustainable aviation fuel.”

Key points:

• Who is affected: Airlines, fuel producers, farmers and other feedstock suppliers, energy researchers, and the public who want to track cleaner jet fuel.
• What changes: Regular federal energy reports would add data on SAF feedstocks (type, origin, volume), production by state and nationwide, and imports by country, using sound methods with no double counting.
• When: As soon as practical after the law takes effect, the Energy Information Administration must start including this information in its reports.
