Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program on the use of sustainable aviation fuel by the Department of Defense.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program on the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by the Department of Defense. The program aims to identify logistical challenges, understand the technical and performance characteristics of SAF in a military setting, and explore opportunities to partner with nearby commercial airports to increase SAF use. The bill requires the Secretary to develop and implement plans to exclusively use aviation fuel blended with at least 10% SAF at two selected facilities by September 30, 2028. The SAF used must be produced in the U.S. from domestic feedstock sources and meet Department of Defense specifications. The Secretary can waive this requirement if there is a lack of domestic SAF availability or a national security contingency. The bill also requires a final report on the pilot program's effects, including on fuel costs, operations, emissions, and the environment.
