Representative Sharice Davids announced today, April 25, 2025, that Representative Earl L. “Buddy” Carter will join her as co-chair of the Congressional Sustainable Aviation Caucus (CSAC). The caucus is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of the aviation industry while enhancing its financial sustainability. Through federal policy, forums, and collaboration with public and private partners, the CSAC plays a vital role in integrating new technologies into the U.S. aviation network.

Several initiatives are underway to promote sustainability, including the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and the integration of technologies that improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and cut costs over time. The caucus is also focused on the growing potential of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) sector, which spans applications from passenger transport to air cargo. The CSAC serves as a platform for staying informed on these initiatives and evaluating the policies, resources, and processes needed to enhance environmental gains, fuel resilience, and national security.

In addition to regular informational updates, the CSAC hosts briefings for Members of Congress, covering topics such as:

• Insights from government, industry, and nonprofit stakeholders on sustainable aviation;
• Developments in energy, aerospace, technology, and modal shifts;
• The implementation of existing technologies in aviation;
• Future challenges and opportunities in sustainable aviation, including fuel production, workforce needs, and regulatory changes.
