Updated Guidance on SAF Subsidies: The Biden administration released updated guidance on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) subsidies, now allowing biofuels made from corn, soybeans, and other agricultural products in SAF production. To qualify for SAF tax credits, producers must demonstrate that their fuel emits at least 50% fewer emissions than petroleum-based jet fuel. Ethanol used in SAF production must originate from farms implementing climate-smart agricultural practices like efficient fertilizer application and no-till farming. This guidance aims to incentivize environmentally sustainable practices in biofuel production. 🌱✈️
