Legislation proposed in Michigan could expedite the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
During a recent Senate Energy and Environment committee hearing, Delta Airlines chief sustainability officer Amelia DeLuca says the future of the aviation industry depends on a decarbonization plan.
“I do not think electrification will power an aircraft anywhere in the next 100 years,” she says. “Sustainable aviation fuel is the solution and will be the solution for quite some time.”
She says Delta alone is expected to increase usage from three million gallons of the fuel to four billion gallons over the next two decades.
State Senator Sam Singh is the bill sponsor.
