Clean Fuels Policy Priorities

Clean Fuels, ASA, NOPA and U.S. Canola urge using the most recent version of the GREET model as the “similar methodology” option for determining SAF tax credit eligibility.

SAF derived from co-processing is ineligible for the tax incentive. Treasury should adopt GREET as the similar methodology.

The Proposed Renewable Fuel Standard Rules for 2023, 2024 and 2025 did not provide the expected upward trajectory for the biomass-based diesel industry.

Treasury should adopt the U.S. Department of Energy’s Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Technologies
(GREET) model as the secondary methodology for calculating tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced

Increased production of biodiesel and renewable diesel in 2023 illustrates the need for EPA to raise RFS volumes substantially.

Treasury should use GREET -- a U.S. lifecycle carbon emissions accounting model -- to determine tax credits for U.S. produced fuels.

EPA cannot discount the immediate benefits biodiesel and renewable diesel have as we decarbonize the heavy-duty sector.

Consumers want to decarbonize and are already doing so using Bioheat ® Fuel in existing home heating fuel systems. These systems merit Energy Star designation

Using biodiesel and renewable diesel today will lower health care impacts and costs for all populations living in and near these areas including minority, low-income, and indigenous populations.

The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization notes that clean, sustainable fuels are needed right now to drive emissions reductions and set us on a road to a clean transportation future.
