Partner Jenny Speck is speaking at the 19th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo in Nashville, Tennessee, on “Federal Tax Policy Trends Shaping the Future of Bioenergy” at 10:30 a.m. CT.
Federal tax policy continues to play a decisive role in shaping the trajectory of the biomass and biofuels sector. This session will examine recent and pending changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including IRA and OB3 amendments that affect biomass-based energy products, along with anticipated proposed regulations on clean fuel tax incentives covering ethanol, biodiesel, marine fuels and sustainable aviation fuel. The discussion will also address updates to the 45ZCF-GREET model, emerging pathways of interest to biomass developers, and early signals from the new Congress on priorities such as restoring SAF credit values and expanding support for maritime fuels. Panelists will offer timely insight into how evolving tax policy, regulatory guidance and federal advocacy efforts could catalyze the next generation of biomass technologies while continuing to support established markets.
