AAERO Act
The AAERO Act amends federal programs supporting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development. It requires SAF to achieve at least a 50% reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum jet fuel, using defined metrics like the International Civil Aviation Organization standards or the Argonne GREET model. The bill authorizes $489 million for 2024 to fund projects meeting this standard, plus $209 million for other initiatives and $4 million for program administration. This directly affects SAF producers, developers, and federal agencies managing these grants, ensuring funding aligns with national emissions goals under the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge.
