The biofuels business needs the Biden Administration to support the so-called GREET model to be eligible for tax credits to produce sustainable aviation fuel. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack offered encouraging news during the National Ethanol Conference in San Diego. “I want to assure you that we are working hard on working to make sure that as we create these incentives they include room for climate-smart agricultural practices which is going to make it easier for what we raise on our farms to be used as feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel,” said Vilsack. “We’re working hard to make that happen and I’m confident that it will happen.” At that point, Vilsack chided the audience for applause. Vilsack also said there has been a 50 percent increase in the number of gas stations selling E15 over the past three years. Investments are being made to continue to build out that infrastructure. Following his speech, the Renewable Fuels Association presented Vilsack with its 2024 Industry Award for his ongoing support for biofuels.
