How Continuum Ag Can Help BioFuel Manufacturers
Maximizing 45Z Starts on the Farm
You’re probably already well aware of the significant financial incentives being offered by the federal government as part of the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit.
45Z rewards manufacturers of “clean” transportation fuels that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This applies to all types of fuels, including biodiesel, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and alternative fuel mixtures (such as ethanol/gasoline mixtures).
So, here’s what’s so exciting about 45Z that previous tax credits didn’t offer.
Open Market
Scope 3 reductions can be included, AKA, farmers can be part of the solution.
Easy Acceptance
An array of fuels qualify.
Everything Counts
The GREET model has been a standard for decades
Credits Stacking
CI reducing efforts can be stacked: CCUS, renewable energy efforts, efficiency improvements, and the purchase of low-carbon grains.
So… if the corn used in your production of ethanol was grown with a lower carbon footprint or less carbon than traditional means, then the Carbon Intensity Score or CI Score for that biomass can lower the CI score of your overall fuel – meaning you have 45Z tax credits coming your way.
Sounds Great? But Where Do I Find Low-Carbon Biomass?
We’re SO glad you asked. Continuum Ag is a by-farmers, for-farmers Company that’s actively working to bring more farmers into the low-carbon space.
- If they can improve their CI Score, their crops have additional value to manufacturers like you!
- With farmers’ low-carbon product at the core of your operation, the 45Z tax credits start adding up quickly, creating more profitability for you.
It’s a win-win situation – and Continuum Ag makes it all possible with third-party verified scoring which not only reduces fraud, but helps set a standard market cost for those eager to maximize their 45Z tax credits.
At Continuum we have generations of hands-on experience with the kind of farming practices that align perfectly with 45Z tax credits, and we have a global network of farmers we’re building towards the goal of 1 Billion low-carbon Bushels of Corn in 2024.
Here’s How YOU Can Get Started
Use the form below to get started and we will connect you with our low-carbon network.
We will refer bushels into your programs by setting up automated data connectivity into your existing management software that will be the basis of a 100% transparent, equitable profit-sharing agreement that can be easily expanded as the future of 45Z continues to evolve.
