California Partners with Airlines to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel

The state aims to supply 200 million gallons of sustainable fuel by 2035, addressing emissions and promoting cleaner air travel.

California signed an agreement with Airlines for America to increase sustainable aviation fuel usage to 200 million gallons by 2035.
The initiative involves major airlines such as Delta, United, and American Airlines, aiming to meet 40% of the state's travel fuel demand with sustainable options.
A Sustainable Aviation Fuel Working Group will be formed to address policy measures and streamline permitting processes.
Critics highlight the environmental impact of biofuel production, but the agreement prioritizes using waste and residues as feedstocks.
This partnership aligns with federal efforts to reduce aviation emissions, complementing goals set by the Biden administration.
