Bill from Reps. Schneider, Brownley and Kildee Will Boost Sustainable Alternative Fuels
EDF Statement from Elizabeth Gore, Senior Vice President, Political Affairs

Ben Schneider, (202) 572-3279, bschneider@edf.org
“The use of high-integrity sustainable aviation fuels is critical to reducing aviation’s climate impact. But the high costs of sustainable aviation fuels compared with fossil fuels are a barrier to their production and use. The bill proposed by Reps. Schneider, Brownley, and Kildee aims to address this issue, while upholding rigorous international environmental standards and rewarding fuels with higher environmental integrity – the bigger the fuel’s climate benefit, the bigger the tax credit.”
- Elizabeth Gore, Senior Vice President of Political Affairs, Environmental Defense Fund.
