Clean Fuels Alliance America welcomed Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack to the June Member Meeting this week. He announced a Request for Information regarding climate-smart ag practices for biofuel feedstocks. These practices can further lower the lifecycle carbon scores of advanced biofuels like biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. Vilsack says the agency is looking for information on crops, crop practices, and how they can be documented, certified, and traced. “We greatly appreciate acknowledging our industry’s need for both timely and accurate rules on climate-smart ag practices,” says Kurt Kovarik, Clean Fuels Vice President of Federal Affairs. “We also appreciate that the secretary understands the importance of having guidance for 45Z well in advance of January 1, 2025, so farmers, producers, and fuel customers have the certainty they need to continue to produce and use low-carbon biomass-based diesel.” Clean Fuels Alliance hosted 100 industry representatives this week.
