AI Summary
This bill, called the Aviation Emissions Reduction Opportunity Act (AERO Act), establishes a competitive grant program to provide funding to entities that produce, transport, blend, or store sustainable aviation fuel, or develop, demonstrate, or apply low-emission aviation technologies. The bill authorizes $200 million per year from 2022 to 2026 for this program, with 70% of the funds going to sustainable aviation fuel projects and 30% going to low-emission aviation technology projects. The bill sets criteria for evaluating grant applications, including the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create new jobs in the United States. It also requires the Secretary of Transportation to develop a methodology for testing the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of sustainable aviation fuels.
