The bill mandates the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to conduct studies aimed at estimating the costs associated with producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from captured carbon dioxide and green hydrogen. It defines key terms related to carbon capture technology, green hydrogen, and sustainable aviation fuel, and outlines the responsibilities of the commissioner in contracting with experts to design infrastructure for carbon capture and to conduct a front-end engineering design study for a facility that combines captured carbon dioxide with green hydrogen to produce SAF. A report detailing the findings, including costs, employment impacts, and production estimates, is required to be submitted by June 30, 2029.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $300,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to support the completion of the required contracts and report. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation, available until June 30, 2029, with a provision allowing the commissioner to allocate up to five percent of the funds for administrative costs related to the implementation of the bill.
