THE business Aviation Coalition for Sustainable Aviation Fuel has called on the Biden administration to follow the same standards it has already applied to biofuel feedstocks, reports London's Biofuels International.
Specifically the group wants the old rules to determine the level of Inflation Reduction Act tax incentives available to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producers.
When finalized, the greenhouse gas rules will impact how SAF producers can take advantage of the Clean Fuel Production Credit enacted in the Inflation Reduction Act.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking comments as it tries to encourage the use of climate-friendly farming practices to develop SAF feedstocks. The Biden administration's SAF Grand Challenge aims to have the US producing three billion gallons of SAF by 2030.
'The BizAv SAF Coalition encourages the Department to enable as much adaptability and flexibility in its framework as is practicable and encourages the USDA to embrace a performance-based approach in its analysis, focusing on outcomes rather than prescriptive and exclusionary lists of acceptable feedstocks,' the coalition said in its letter.
Without the right approach and flexibility with the greenhouse gas rules, the US will not be able to meet the SAF Grand Challenge goals, the coalition said.
'It is likely that we will only achieve those goals through the existing scale and capabilities of US agriculture through access to sustainable crop-based feedstocks,' the coalition said.
