The Renewable Fuels Association today thanked Sens. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) for the reintroduction in the Senate of the Farm to Fly Act. This legislation 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.
“RFA supports the Farm to Fly Act, and we appreciate these senators working together across the aisle to move forward this important legislation that creates more clarity and stability around the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) made from U.S. crops,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “This bill would be critical in helping position SAF for takeoff by ensuring the best available science and modeling tools are used to calculate the carbon benefits of homegrown renewable fuels.”
