Biden Administration Boosts Corn Ethanol's Role in Sustainable Aviation Fuel

New tax credits aim to increase U.S. production of green jet fuel, leveraging corn-based ethanol amid rising electric vehicle adoption.

The Biden administration's new guidelines for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) include significant tax credits for corn ethanol producers.
Environmentalists express concerns over the sustainability of corn-based biofuels, fearing increased land conversion emissions.
The tax incentives are designed to encourage 'climate-smart' agricultural practices and carbon capture technology.
Experts predict a shift in ethanol demand from road transport to aviation, potentially making the U.S. a major SAF supplier.
The success of these policies may hinge on future U.S. presidential elections, impacting the pace of electric vehicle integration and ethanol demand.
