Bill > HR1719

This bill, known as the "Farm to Fly Act of 2025," aims to support the development and integration of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) within the U.S. agricultural sector. The bill amends the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to provide a comprehensive definition of sustainable aviation fuel, which must meet specific technical standards, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% compared to petroleum-based jet fuel, and not be derived from palm fatty acid distillates or petroleum. The legislation establishes a Farm to Fly Collaboration Initiative, requiring the Department of Agriculture to actively promote SAF development by leveraging farmers' and foresters' capabilities, supporting rural economic development, and advancing public-private partnerships. Additionally, the bill modifies existing biorefinery assistance programs to explicitly include sustainable aviation fuels, thereby creating new opportunities for agricultural producers to participate in the emerging clean energy market. The bill recognizes SAF as a critical strategy for increasing domestic energy security, creating new agricultural markets, and supporting the aviation sector's transition to more environmentally friendly fuel sources.
