Rep. Julia Brownley (D-California) has reintroduced legislation to incentivize the increased production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with a goal of having the U.S. aviation sector reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 35 percent by 2035, the congresswoman said yesterday. Originally introduced in November, the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act would also set a goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
