The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. This legislation expands federal biofuel policy to include Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) derived from agricultural feedstocks, directing the USDA to foster development through public-private partnerships. While aviation groups support the move for its economic and environmental potential, some industry critics argue for a more technology-neutral approach. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its final form will determine how agricultural incentives align with aviation decarbonization goals.
