Bill Summary
A BILL To amend certain agricultural laws with respect to the definition of biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Farm to Fly Act of 2023, aims to enable access for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) within Department of Agriculture bio-energy programs. It expands the definition of biofuels to include SAF, recognizing the important role the U.S. agricultural sector plays in SAF production and its potential to support rural economic development, increase domestic energy security, and promote clean energy sources. The bill also directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a collaboration initiative to advance SAF development and commercialization, and amends existing law to include SAF as an eligible use for biorefinery, renewable chemical, and biobased product manufacturing assistance programs.
