Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has made a formal Request for Information about climate-smart agriculture practices for the production of crops for biofuel feedstocks. That includes advanced biofuels like sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel fuel. There was frustration from agriculture and biofuel groups when the Biden Administration released guidance about tax credits and the GREET model for sustainable aviation fuel in late April. Vilsack said this new action establishes the foundation for policies that will benefit rural communities when addressing climate change.
