Section 45Z provides federal tax credits to biofuel manufacturers based on the carbon intensity (CI) score of their fuel. This creates a financial incentive for farmers to implement soil health practices that lower the carbon footprint of their crops, potentially adding over $100 per acre in shareable value across the supply chain. The TopSoil Summit in Iowa focuses on connecting agricultural production to the fuel market. The event aims to help farmers, grain merchandisers, and ethanol plants navigate the reporting and verification requirements needed to capture these climate-linked tax credits.
