An Undersecretary at the USDA says the Biden administration’s tax and carbon modeling announced Tuesday helps define the role of agriculture in the production of sustainable aviation fuels.
Robert Bonnie says it starts with figuring out how climate-smart agricultural practices count. “You’ll see a more simplified version of that initially,” he says. We hope over the long term to be able to allow more participation of different crops, different combinations of climate-smart practices, and build that in a way into GREET that has good science behind it but also reflects the reality on the ground.”
In a meeting with reporters during the NAFB’s Washington Watch at the USDA, Bonnie said traceability will be crucial moving forward.
