from Renewable Fuels Association
The Renewable Fuels Association today thanked a bipartisan group of members of Congress for the House reintroduction of the Farm to Fly Act. This bill would help sustainable aviation fuels create new markets for America’s farmers by affirming a common definition of SAF for USDA purposes, so that U.S. crops can most effectively contribute to sustainable aviation via renewable fuels like low-carbon ethanol.
The bill was introduced by Reps. Max Miller (R-OH), Mike Flood (R-NE), Brad Finstad (R-MN), Nikki Budzinski (D-IL), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Tracey Mann (R-KS), Mike Bost (R-IL), Don Bacon (R-NE), Randy Feenstra (R-IA), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), Mark Alford (R-MO), Eric Sorensen (D-IL), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Michelle Fischbach (R-MN). A Senate version was introduced in January by a similarly bipartisan group of lawmakers.
“The Renewable Fuels Association thanks Rep. Miller, as well as cosponsors Reps. Flood, Finstad, Budzinski, Tenney, Mann, Bost, Bacon, Feenstra, D. Johnson, Alford, Sorensen, Miller-Meeks and Fischbach for the reintroduction of the Farm to Fly Act," said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. "RFA supports this important legislation, which would bring clarity and stability to the future of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) made from U.S. crops. By affirming SAF’s inclusion in USDA programs and ensuring the best science is used, this bill empowers domestic agriculture to participate in the emerging SAF market.”
