“New Free Calculator Helps Farmers Determine Their Carbon Intensity Score”
By: Carbon Herald – August 8, 2024
“starting in 2025, specific ethanol plants that participate in this program will be eligible for tax credits if they accept crops with a reduced carbon footprint. The tax credit that will be issued to grain buyers is known as the Federal Tax Credit 45Z, also referred to as the “Clean Fuel Production Credit. Some of these ethanol plants may also provide incentives to farmers who supply crops with lower CO2 emissions, which is why Plastina is hopeful that farmers will utilize the calculator to assess their current emissions levels and explore ways to make changes that will result in a decreased carbon footprint.”
