Two new bills on Capitol Hill are aiming to restore tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and boost the aircraft type certification process to help pave the way for new technologies such as advanced air mobility.

Introduced in the Senate by Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) with co-sponsors representing both sides of the aisle, the Securing America’s Fuel Act (S.3759) would return the tax credit for SAF production to $1.75 per gallon and extend it through 2033. This was the companion bill to the SAF Act (H.R.6518) introduced last year in the House of Representatives by Reps. Mike Flood (R-Nebraska) and Sharice Davids (D-Kansas).
