A bipartisan group of lawmakers in the House introduced legislation last week aimed at strengthening the sustainable aviation fuel industry, creating economic opportunities for farmers, and reducing transportation emissions.

Representatives Mike Flood (R-NE), Sharice Davids (D-KS), Tracey Mann (R-KS), and Troy Carter (D-LA) introduced the Securing America’s Fuels (SAF) Act, H.R. 6518, bipartisan legislation that would restore the full value of the tax credit and extend the entire 45Z tax credit through 2033.

“The SAF Act ensures that clean fuel production incentives are strong and long-term so businesses, farmers, and innovators can plan for the future with confidence,” said Rep. Davids, who co-chairs the Congressional Sustainable Aviation Caucus (CSAC). “The bipartisan support shows the incredible potential we have to build a healthier, stronger, and more prosperous future for generations to come.”

The bipartisan legislation is endorsed by major industry and agricultural groups, including National Corn Growers Association, SAF Coalition, Airlines for America, Kansas Farm Bureau, Renew Kansas, Kansas Corn, Kansas Soybean Association, Greater New Orleans Inc., Nebraska Corn Growers Association, Nebraska Soybean Association, Nebraska Farm Bureau, Twelve, Darling Ingredients, Louisiana Farm Bureau Foundation, Advanced Biofuels Association, Global Business Travel Association, and American Sugarcane League.
