NATA Applauds Provision in House Infrastructure Package Supporting Sustainable Jet Fuel Programs

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) applauds the inclusion of language in H.R. 2, “The Moving Forward Act,” which supports the industry’s goal to increase the use of sustainable aviation fuels in business aviation.

The bill authorizes $5,000,000 annually through 2025, to be appropriated from the general fund of the Treasury to be used exclusively for work performed by the Center of Excellence for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment, including toward “programs to assess and reduce the environmental impacts of aviation and to improve the health and quality of life of individuals living in and around airport communities.” The FAA will oversee the distribution of the funds. The bill also authorizes $30 million per year for the study and development of sustainable aviation fuels over the same period.
