Legislative Progress
The bill has support from both parties and focuses on data collection rather than controversial taxes. However, many bills introduced in the House never make it to a final vote.
Key Points
- This bill requires the government to start tracking and sharing data about sustainable aviation fuel. This is a type of jet fuel made from renewable materials like plant waste or used cooking oil instead of traditional petroleum.
- The Energy Information Administration would have to include this information in its regular weekly and monthly reports. These reports currently track things like gasoline and crude oil but do not always give a detailed look at newer green fuels.
- The reports would show exactly what materials are being used to make the fuel and where those materials come from. It would track production in each state and also look at how much fuel the United States is buying from other countries.
- By making this data public, the bill aims to help the airline industry and the government understand how the market for cleaner fuel is growing. It requires the government to use reliable math to ensure the numbers are accurate and that fuel is not counted twice.
