In Michigan, WHMI reported that Michigan lawmakers are weighing legislation that could change how jet fuel is produced and used in the state.
The proposal would create a tax credit to expand sustainable aviation fuel. Kent Hartwig is the director of state government affairs for GEVO, a company working to commercialize the sustainable aviation fuel industry.
“Markets and policies like this give us the ability to build production,” said Hartwig. “It sends a signal to investors that there’s long-term policy for folks to provide capital for us to build these SAF plants.”
Hartwig said the tax credit could help lower the upfront costs of building new fuel facilities, giving more incentive to investors. The legislation has already passed the Senate and is awaiting action in the House, the report added.
