In Case You Missed It: Lawmakers in Iowa have seized the moment to cement the advancement of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and the future of American energy dominance by passing Senate File 657. The legislation establishes an incentive for SAF production in Iowa for the next ten years, leading the way for the American energy industry domestically and globally.

“Americans for Clean Aviation Fuels applauds Iowa’s lawmakers and leaders who recognize that the future of domestic energy dominance and air travel will require investments from the top down," Americans for Clean Aviation Fuels States Director Nick Boeyink said. “Producers of SAF feedstocks in Iowa will finally have a chance to directly reap the benefits that we have been talking about for years and set the stage for a fully scaled SAF market.”

This expansion of SAF into Iowa state legislation demonstrates the call for the next era of aviation and energy independence in America. A fully scaled SAF market has the potential to create 400k  jobs, increase labor incomes by $9.3 billion in America’s heartland communities and secure domestic energy independence.

ACAF is a diverse coalition committed to building a fully scaled SAF market in the U.S. The group’s members represent the full value chain, including: Delta Air Lines, Airbus, Growth Energy, ExxonMobil, POET, Airlines for America, National Business Aviation Association, Corteva, Indiana Soybean Alliance, Iowa Soybean Association, Missouri Soybeans, Ohio Soybean Council, BP, Rolls-Royce, Natural State Renewables, the American Carbon Alliance, Summit Agricultural Group, Renew Kansas and the Corn Marketing Program of Michigan.
