U.S. biofuel and agricultural groups are calling on the Treasury and IRS to finalize regulations for the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit. Industry leaders argue that clear rules and an updated carbon intensity model are essential to reduce investment risk and provide certainty for producers before the 2026 harvest. Key points of contention include the need for a revised GREET emissions model and the inclusion of specific feedstocks like cellulosic corn and sorghum. Groups are also pushing for practical recordkeeping standards for regenerative agriculture to ensure farmers are properly credited for low carbon practices.
