We are making progress toward this goal, but we must ensure that American SAF continues to lead the world in this effort. One of the most important things we can do to continue this leadership decarbonizing our skies is to increase the supply of American-grown, American-made SAF. We will not be able to meet President Biden\u2019s SAF Grand Challenge nor lower our aviation carbon emissions in the near future without agricultural feedstock SAF. In the weeks and months ahead, I\u2019ll be closely monitoring this rollout of the modifications to the GREET model to ensure its implementation doesn\u2019t undermine our agriculture industry\u2019s ability to produce sustainable aviation fuel, jeopardize our nation\u2019s energy security and hurt our farmers.\u201d\n\nDuckworth has been a local and national leader in supporting biofuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The Senator has been outspoken about the necessity for the U.S. to utilize agricultural feedstock for SAF in order to meet President Biden\u2019s ambitious emissions and production goals and the commonsense application of the Department of Energy\u2019s commissioned Argonne National Lab\u2019s Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies Model (GREET) lifecycle analysis for global and domestic SAF evaluations.\n\n-30-", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:56:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-releases/duckworth-statement-on-biden-administrations-new-sustainable-aviation-fuel-tax-credit-implementation-guidance"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0941349901258945, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
