Summary
This bill would make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) an official biofuel and direct the USDA to coordinate programs to scale SAF production and commercialization. It sets technical and emissions rules for SAF and expands USDA support to build supply chains and rural markets.
Show full summary
- Farmers and rural communities gain a clearer market for feedstocks and foresters. The bill links SAF development to rural economic development and public-private partnerships.
- The aviation sector must use fuels that meet ASTM D7566 or the Fischer Tropsch provisions of ASTM D1655 Annex A1 and show a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction of at least 50 percent. That creates a quality and emissions floor for eligible SAF.
- USDA programs change to support SAF directly. The bill adds SAF as an allowable output in the Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance program and creates a Farm to Fly Collaboration Initiative to coordinate USDA agencies and funding.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
New rules for sustainable aviation fuel producers
If enacted, this would set a clear legal definition for sustainable aviation fuel. Fuel would need ASTM D7566 or the Fischer‑Tropsch part of ASTM D1655. It could not use petroleum, palm fatty acid distillates, or coprocessing with non‑biomass feedstocks. It would need at least a 50 percent lifecycle greenhouse gas cut under CORSIA or GREET. The bill would also treat sustainable aviation fuel as a covered biofuel in USDA law. These rules would guide who can qualify for USDA bioenergy programs and would take effect upon enactment.
USDA support for sustainable aviation fuel
USDA would make sustainable aviation fuel a focus across its programs. The Secretary would lead work across agencies and build public‑private partnerships. The bill would add sustainable aviation fuel as an eligible output for USDA biorefinery loans and support. This could help projects line up financing and support in rural areas. Changes would take effect upon enactment.
