Wisconsin corn farmers are disappointed by a U.S. Department of Treasury decision that will limit ethanol’s contribution to low-carbon jet fuel. The update says that corn-based ethanol must be grown with additional on-farm conservation practices to apply for tax credits. But Sustainable Aviation Fuel producer Gevo says the industry is still ready to grow and can try to meet farmers where they’re at when it comes to conservation. Kathy Bergren, director of federal government relations at Gevo, tells us how the renewable fuel company is expanding its focus on SAF. This includes a new facility coming online in the Dakotas.
