Indirect land use is left out and manure gets its own rates
What the document says“the emissions rate shall be adjusted as necessary to exclude any emissions attributed to indirect land use change.”
The section adds new clauses (iv) and (v) to section 45Z(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 requiring the emissions rate to be adjusted to leave out emissions attributed to indirect land use change, based on regulations or methods the Secretary sets, and requiring a distinct rate for fuel derived from animal manure based on the specific feedstock such as dairy, swine or poultry manure, which may be below zero despite the general bar. The change applies to rates published for fuel produced after December 31, 2025.
What the document actually says“the emissions rate shall be adjusted as necessary to exclude any emissions attributed to indirect land use change.”
The rate must leave out one kind of emission. That is emission tied to indirect land use change.
Fuel from animal manure gets its own rate. That rate turns on the kind of manure. It alone may fall below zero.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
