Capped tax breaks for aviation biofuel
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, Wisconsin can certify only one qualifying biofuel maker for enterprise zone tax credits, capped at $120 million total. The business must manufacture in Wisconsin, make mostly aviation biofuel, and source at least 80% of its wood-based material in Wisconsin by total volume over five years. It must submit an independent feasibility study covering production methods, performance, material supplies, cost competitiveness, and job creation. Its business plan must cover startup and operating costs, markets, financial forecasts, and purchase agreements; include signed supplier and buyer letters sufficient to meet planned sales thresholds; and show a financing commitment and required equity raised and on deposit. Its enterprise zone designation can last up to 20 years instead of 12, but only while the certified business operates there.
