The Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit, or 45Z, provides a tax credit for low emissions fuels that have a carbon intensity (CI) score below a baseline level (50 kgCO2e/MMBTU). This incentive is critical to ensure we maintain our dominant position as the world’s top biofuels producer, provide new income opportunities for growers in an ailing farm economy, and ensure U.S. leadership in liquid fuels for light-duty vehicles, heavy duty shipping, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and marine vessels.
This pro-growth tax policy can unlock billions of dollars in new investments in U.S. clean energy innovation.
