June 18, 2026– Washington, Iowa — Continuum Ag, a leader in Carbon Intensity (CI) measurement, reporting, and verification, and Aztalan Bio, an ethanol producer based in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin, are preparing for future opportunities tied to the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit.
As the U.S. biofuel industry anticipates additional USDA and Treasury guidance on integrating feedstock carbon intensity data to increase 45Z claims, Aztalan Bio is positioning itself to work alongside farmers who have Verified CI Certificates®.
“Aztalan Bio successfully monetized the 45Z tax credit for fuel produced in 2025, and we look forward to continuing to build our decarbonization strategy,” said Andras Bogyay, CEO of Aztalan Bio. “Pending additional guidance and rules regarding feedstock CI, we see value in working with farmers who have verified CI data that is packaged in a format we can easily utilize.”
Continuum Ag’s TopSoil platform is helping farmers across the country calculate their CI Score, organize farm records, and prepare for emerging low-carbon grain opportunities through its CI Certification® process.
“As the industry evolves, legitimized and verified farmer CI data will be incredibly important,” said Mitchell Hora. “We’re excited to work with forward-thinking ethanol producers like Aztalan Bio that recognize the potential value of integrating farmers into their decarbonization strategies.”
Although additional federal guidance is still pending, Continuum Ag and Aztalan Bio believe preparation today positions both farmers and ethanol producers for future success.
