A business aviation coalition asked the Biden Administration to follow its existing biofuel program regulations as it develops rules surrounding qualifying feedstocks for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In comments to a request for information rom the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on quantifying, verifying, and reporting on greenhouse emissions from various feedstocks used to produce SAF, eight aviation organizations welcomed the Biden Administration’s efforts to facilitate the expansion of the production and use of biofuel.

Efforts are underway by the administration to work on greenhouse gas rules that will impact how SAF is produced and can qualify for the clean fuel production credit under the Inflation Reduction Act. That credit provides up to $1.75 per gallon for fuel using qualified feedstocks.
