WASHINGTON, D.C. – Nebraska Congressman Mike Flood is part of a bipartisan group that has introduced the Securing America’s Fuels Act in the U.S. House to reinstate per-gallon incentives for production of fuels that meet global emission standards.

The Big Beautiful Bill supported by the Trump Administration reduced and extended incentives for aviation fuels to 2029.  The Securing America’s Fuels Act would reinstate production tax credits and extend them to 2033.

Ethanol can be used to make sustainable aviation fuel and carbon pipelines are called vital to keeping the process within emission requirements.

Flood said Nebraska starts “on third base” because many of its ethanol plants can take advantage of the Tallgrass Trailblazer Pipeline. The pipeline can transport carbon dioxide linked to the ethanol process and store it underground in Wyoming.

 Flood: “Sustainable aviation fuel will help lower emissions while expanding domestic markets for our nation’s farmers, ensuring that our ag economy thrives for generations to come.”

Mark McHargue of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation said incentives will help the emerging industry get off the ground and said the Farm Bureau stands ready to help Nebraska become the sustainable aviation fuel epicenter of the country.
