Treasury Guidance Advances Clean Fuel Markets — The CFCC is Ready to Support Industry Execution 

This month, the U.S. Treasury forwarded its 45z guidance regulations to the OMB for signoff, ultimately benefitting producers and growers in the ethanol value chain, while bringing momentum to the entirety of the biofuel industry.

When it receives final signoff, it represents a major step forward for biofuel partners, including feedstock suppliers, and tax credit participants seeking clarity, confidence, and execution. This confirmation also affirms the strategic initiatives of the CFCC (Clean Fuel Credit Consortium) and the progress that’s made when leaders from different corners of the industry come together for the greater good of North American growers and producers who are creating this global commodity. 
 

With the guidance published, CFCC members are now aligned to: 

-Support an eligible clean fuel production pathway 

-Enable credible, auditable data flows from farm to fuel 

-Reduce counterparty and compliance risk for credit buyers and sellers 

-Accelerate time-to-market for compliant transactions
 

“Guidance provides direction — execution creates value,” said Jeff Schreiner, SVP of Global Collaboration at Cultura. “Our focus remains helping the industry move from interpretation to action, using real-world workflows that producers and their partners already trust.”

The CFCC will continue working alongside ethanol plants, grain originators, farmers, and financial participants to translate policy into operational results, while operating responsibly and transparently at a greater scale.
