Hinson Statement on Treasury Guidance for Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) released the following statement on the Department of Treasury’s new guidance on the GREET model for the sustainable aviation fuel tax credit. 

“While I am glad farmers can now be rewarded for their good conservation practices, I am disappointed the Administration chose a one-size-fits-all approach that will disadvantage many Iowa farmers. Rather than mandate a bundle of conservation techniques that will leave many Iowa farmers behind, conservation practices should qualify on individual merits. I will continue to engage with the Administration to ensure Iowa farmers can take full advantage of opportunities in the sustainable aviation fuel market.” - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson 

Background:
Rep. Hinson has been a leader on the push for the GREET model to expand opportunities for Iowa farmers to participate in the growing SAF market. Rep. Hinson co-led a bipartisan letter urging the Department of the Treasury to utilize the GREET model for the sustainable aviation fuel tax credit. Additionally, Hinson expressed the importance of utilizing GREET in a House Appropriations Committee markup.
