A Senate Ag Committee member is asking for modeling used to measure transportation emissions for sustainable aviation fuel to be reevaluated.
During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday, Nebraska Republican Deb Fischer raised concerns that American corn and soybean biofuels could be at a disadvantage to imports with the new model.
“With this updated modeling, corn and soy-based biofuels, even if they complete the additional conservation practices, would still be deemed more carbon intensive than Brazilian sugar cane ethanol,” she said.
