Kentucky Bill Proposes Using Farmland for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

Kentucky's House Bill 545 aims to establish a new agricultural sector focused on producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The legislation supports growing energy crops, like pennycress and camelina, specifically for conversion into jet fuel. Proponents argue this will create a new, stable market for Kentucky farmers while positioning the state as a leader in green energy. The ultimate goal is to help decarbonize the aviation industry, a major consumer of fossil fuels. Having passed the state House, the bill is now under consideration in the Senate for approval.
