Here’s the reality: this is not a direct payment to farmers. It’s a producer tax credit for biofuel companies—but the potential impact on grain demand, carbon scoring, and farming practices could be significant.

In this conversation, we cover:

What 45Z actually is and how it works
Why it was created and how it differs from past biofuel credits
The role of carbon intensity (CI) scores
Why rules are still not finalized—and what that means
The GREET model and how emissions are calculated
How farmers could eventually be involved through traceability and climate-smart practices
What we know about timelines and the extension through 2029
And what (if anything) farmers should be doing right now

This is one of the clearest explanations yet of a complicated program—and a must-listen if you’re trying to understand where this is headed.
