(NAFB.com) – The National Corn Growers Association reacted positively to a Treasury Department proposal for a tax credit designed to help the biofuel industry sell into the aviation sector. “This proposal is a step in the right direction and will allow corn growers to transition into and supply the aviation sector,” said NCGA President Jed Bower. “Being able to get fuel into commercial planes with fuel derived from corn would be important to the long-term economic viability of farming.” While the credit has been available since January 2025, producers and farmers have struggled to capitalize on it with only minimal guidance. “The agency responded to many taxpayer concerns and resolved some uncertainties from the guidance issued a year ago,” said Kurt Kovarik, VP of Federal Affairs for Clean Fuels Alliance. “We anticipate this proposal will provide additional market certainty for biodiesel and renewable diesel producers.”
