Hawaii HB1459 mandates sustainable aviation fuel use in intrastate flights to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean energy.

Hawaii HB1459 establishes requirements for the use of sustainable aviation fuel in all intrastate flights to advance Hawaii's climate goals. Beginning January 1, 2030, commercial airlines must use at least 10% sustainable aviation fuel in their intrastate flights, increasing annually until 100% is required by 2045. The bill defines sustainable aviation fuel as renewable aviation turbine fuel compliant with ASTM International standards and having a lower greenhouse gas lifecycle carbon intensity than jet fuel.
