Bill Summary

Relative to establishing a special commission on sustainable aviation fuel-induced contrail mitigation. Environment and Natural Resources.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a "Sustainable Aviation Fuel Logistics Advisory Council" to facilitate the use of sustainable aviation fuels at Logan Airport in Massachusetts. The bill requires the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to study the feasibility of creating a model to estimate the potential for contrail formation from aircraft departing Massachusetts airports. If the model is deemed appropriate, the office will create it and use it to determine the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions savings from the use of qualified sustainable aviation fuels. The office will then provide payments to aircraft operators who use these qualified fuels, up to a limit of $10 million per year for the first two years, with the limit subject to review after that period.
