Minnesota SF1515 amends the definition of sustainable aviation fuel to include specific criteria for its production and emissions reductions.

Minnesota SF1515 modifies the definition of sustainable aviation fuel to include liquid fuel derived from biomass, gaseous carbon oxides produced from biomass or direct air capture, and green electrolytic hydrogen. It excludes fuels derived from palm fatty acid distillates and requires a 50 percent reduction in life cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum-based aviation fuels. The bill also defines qualifying taxpayers engaged in producing or blending sustainable aviation fuel.
