S 4065: Establishes a sustainable aviation fuel tax credit

This bill creates a tax credit for sustainable aviation fuel producers in New York, offering $1 per gallon (up to $2 per gallon) based on emissions reductions. Producers must meet strict criteria: fuel must reduce lifecycle greenhouse gases by at least 50% compared to jet fuel, be derived from biomass/waste, and avoid palm/petroleum sources. The credit requires certification from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), with a $30 million annual spending cap. It directly affects fuel producers and businesses using qualifying fuel for flights departing from New York airports, aiming to incentivize cleaner aviation fuel adoption.
