Show full summary
- Farmers and domestic feedstock producers: Would require feedstocks be produced or grown in the United States, steering clean-fuel credit demand toward U.S. growers.
- Fuel producers and clean-fuel projects: Would bar transportation fuel made from foreign feedstocks from qualifying for the credit for fuel sold after December 31, 2024, which could change project eligibility.
- Emissions accounting and regulators: Would exclude indirect land use change from lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions used to set the credit. The Secretary would work with the EPA Administrator and the Secretary of Agriculture to set adjustment methods; this applies to emissions rates published for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
- Credit timing and calculation precision: Would extend the credit’s availability to December 31, 2034 and tighten rounding of the emissions factor from 0.1 to 0.01. The rounding change applies to transportation fuel produced after December 31, 2024.

New clean-fuel tax rules for farmers
If enacted, this bill would change the Section 45Z clean fuel production tax credit. Fuel sold after Dec. 31, 2024 would only qualify if the feedstock was grown or produced in the United States. It would require agencies to exclude indirect land-use change when setting lifecycle emissions rates. The Secretary would develop methods with EPA and the Secretary of Agriculture. That change would apply to emissions rates published for taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 2025. The bill would tighten rounding of the emissions factor from 0.1 to 0.01 for fuel produced after Dec. 31, 2024. It would also extend the credit's availability through Dec. 31, 2034. Farmers who sell feedstock and businesses that make fuel could see bigger or smaller tax credits depending on these rules.
