(NAFB.com) – Growth Energy celebrated the significant legislation that will speed investment in Nebraska’s production of sustainable aviation fuel. The bill was signed by Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen and will provide a 75-cent per gallon tax credit for the production of aviation fuel that reduces lifecycle emissions by at least 50 percent. That number is calculated based on the most recent version of the GREET model. “We applaud every one of the biofuel champions in Nebraska who worked hard to advance this exciting legislation,” says Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “These incentives promise to propel Nebraska into a leadership position on SAF, which is the single most promising new market for low-carbon biofuels.” She also says with the right incentives and the best available science, as afforded by the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET model, this approach promises to fast-track investments in low-carbon aviation that will benefit our climate, economy, and rural communities.
