Key Takeaways:
The FAA has opened applications for $300 million in federal FAST-SAF grants to support sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) infrastructure and low-emission aviation technology projects.
Funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, these grants aim to accelerate the use of high-integrity SAF and develop powerful, low-emission aviation technologies.
A wide range of entities, including airports, air carriers, universities, and state/local governments, are eligible to apply, with awards targeted for mid-2024.
This initiative is part of the U.S. aviation industry's broader goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The application window is now open for $300 million in federal aviation grants earmarked for projects that will support sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) infrastructure and low-emission aviation technology, the FAA announced Monday.
The funding comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, described as the largest climate investment in history, according to the FAA.
