Biofuel and farming organizations across the country want USDA to dismantle mandatory combinations of climate-smart agriculture practices to qualify for biofuel tax credits, and the groups suggest moving to a simplified accounting system to propel the industry's growth.
The rising demand for renewable fuel and subsequent tax credits to incentivize production has led to a significant spike in imported feedstocks like used cooking oil and tallow, which some say could undermine the domestic oilseed industry and potentially allows some fraudulent materials to enter the market.
The Agriculture Department is seeking input on how to measure reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from crops grown as biofuel feedstocks, part of an effort to increase production of sustainable aviation fuel.
