(5) LOW-EMISSION AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES.—The term ‘‘low-emission aviation technologies’’ means technologies, pro- duced in the United States, that significantly— (A) improve aircraft fuel efficiency; (B) increase utilization of sustainable aviation fuel; or (C) reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced during operation of civil aircraft. (6) SECRETARY.—The term ‘‘Secretary’’ means the Secretary of Transportation. (7) SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL.—The term ‘‘sustainable aviation fuel’’ means liquid fuel, produced in the United States, that— (A) consists of synthesized hydrocarbons; (B) meets the requirements of— (i) ASTM International Standard D7566; or (ii) the co-processing provisions of ASTM Inter- national Standard D1655, Annex A1 (or such successor standard); (C) is derived from biomass (in a similar manner as such term is defined in section 45K(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), waste streams, renewable energy sources, or gaseous carbon oxides; (D) is not derived from palm fatty acid distillates; and (E) achieves at least a 50 percent lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction in comparison with petroleum- based jet fuel, as determined by a test that shows— (i) the fuel production pathway achieves at least a 50 percent reduction of the aggregate attributional core lifecycle emissions and the induced land-use change values under a lifecycle methodology for sustainable aviation fuels similar to that adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization with the agreement of the United States; or (ii) the fuel production pathway achieves at least a 50 percent reduction of the aggregate attributional core lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions values and the induced land-use change values under another method- ology that the Secretary determines is— (I) reflective of the latest scientific under- standing of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions; and (II) as stringent as the requirement under clause (i).
