MITIGATING RISK AND ENHANCING MARKET ACCESS

As a biofuel producer, you understand how to maximize profitability by optimizing a plant’s carbon intensity (CI) for higher value products. Coming soon is the potential to procure low-CI grain that could mean higher revenues for you and the farmer. To accomplish this, you will need access to your farmer suppliers and to calculate their CI, all with the verification you need to meet the anticipated regulatory requirements.

YOUR ROLE

  1. Utilize the plant-centric tool from BASF, xarvio® Bioenergy, for calculating, consolidating, verifying, and reporting feedstock carbon intensity.
  2. Determine farmer incentives based on your specific capabilities and manage contracts.

HOW YOU WOULD BENEFIT

  1. Potential eligibility for the anticipated 45Z tax credit.*
  2. Improved access to low-CI grain and detailed records for compliance by empowering the farmer’s trusted advisor.
  3. Access to the plant-centric tool, xarvio® Bioenergy, for reporting on all touchpoints in the value chain to help ensure easy and complete documented compliance.
  4. Obtain third-party verification of data to meet anticipated regulatory requirements and monetize low-CI feedstocks.
  5. Maximize the amount of low-carbon fuel produced and associated potential tax credits.

*45Z and 40B are federal programs under the Inflation Reduction Act. Applicable regulations are expected to be issued soon. 45Z tax credits are currently time limited through 2027.  This LCIC Service offered jointly by BASF and Anew is subject to revision as necessary to meet forthcoming federal regulatory requirements.
