The U.S. DOE on June 12 released an update of its 45ZCF-GREET model, which is used to calculate fuel emissions rates for the 45Z clean fuel production credit. Release of the model provides much-needed certainty for the U.S. renewable fuel industry.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins reiterated support for E15 and confirmed that release of USDA feedstock guidance related to the 45Z clean fuel production credit is imminent during a June 10 hearing held by the Senate Agriculture Committee.
