Key Points

  • Raises the clean fuel tax credit for sustainable aviation fuel made at certain facilities, from 20 cents to 35 cents in one case.
  • Also raises the higher facility credit amount for this fuel from $1.00 to $1.75, which could make more projects pencil out financially.
  • Extends the clean fuel production credit so it applies to fuel sold through the end of 2033, instead of ending after 2029.
  • Sets rules for what counts as sustainable aviation fuel, and excludes fuel made from palm fatty acid distillates or petroleum.
  • Applies to fuel produced after December 31, 2025, meaning the higher credit would start for new production going forward.
