Definition of sustainable aviation fuel modification
This bill updates Minnesota's definition of "sustainable aviation fuel" in statute. It specifies that the fuel must achieve at least a 50% reduction in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil jet fuel, using either the Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model or the International Civil Aviation Organization's methodology. The definition explicitly excludes fuel derived from palm fatty acid distillates and lists acceptable feedstocks like biomass, captured carbon, and green hydrogen. This definition directly affects producers and blenders of sustainable aviation fuel who qualify for tax benefits under Minnesota law.
