Bill > HR1594

This bill aims to support the sustainable aviation fuel market by establishing national goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from aviation, creating a low carbon aviation fuel standard, and providing various incentives and research initiatives. The bill sets a national target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from domestic and international aviation flights by 35% by 2035 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050, compared to 2005 levels. It introduces a comprehensive low carbon aviation fuel standard requiring a 20% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 and a 50% reduction by 2050, with a credit system for fuel producers. The Department of Defense is mandated to purchase at least 10% sustainable aviation fuel for operational purposes starting in 2025, provided it is competitively priced and produced in the United States. The bill also allocates funding for research at the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Energy to develop sustainable aviation fuel technologies, particularly focusing on using cover crops and conservation-purpose crops. Additionally, the bill extends tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel production and adds sustainable aviation fuel production property to existing energy credits, providing financial incentives for developing and producing low-carbon aviation fuels. These measures are designed to support the aviation industry's transition to more environmentally friendly fuel sources and reduce its overall carbon footprint.
