  • The push for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a perfect example of how smart investments in clean energy can create substantial benefits across multiple industries. That’s why I want to commend our Reps. Salud Carbajal, Kevin Mullin and Tony Cárdenas for their leadership as founding members of the Congressional Sustainable Aviation Caucus, a bipartisan effort that will accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.

    Sustainability isn’t just about cutting emissions, it’s about making sure our solutions work for both the environment and the bottom line. SAF embodies this principle. It’s a low-carbon alternative to fossil-based jet fuel that offers the best chance to decarbonize one of the toughest industries to go green — aviation. Alongside SAF, business aviation companies are also investing in hybrid, electric and hydrogen-powered propulsion systems, ensuring a multifaceted approach to reaching the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
