Ethanol Industry's Path to Sustainable Aviation Fuel Relies on Overcoming Carbon Capture Resistance
- Carbon capture and storage (CCS) at ethanol plants is seen as necessary for the industry to provide feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
- Three proposed Midwest CCS pipelines have faced resistance from landowners, stalling growth of SAF
- Ethanol industry hoping CCS can help slash emissions so fuel qualifies for lucrative SAF tax credits
- Agriculture Secretary Vilsack says CCS needed for Midwest biofuels industry to take advantage of SAF growth
- Vilsack expecting Treasury decision by end of year that could make ethanol-based SAF more eligible for subsidies
