The baseline tax system would not allow credits for particular activities, investments or industries. Instead, it would generally seek to tax uniformly all returns from investment-like activities. In contrast, the Tax Code allows an income tax credit for the production of qualifying transportation fuel with zero or low greenhouse gas emissions. The amount of the credit is calculated from the base amount, or alternate amount, of the credit and the emissions factor of a transportation fuel, with a special rate for sustainable aviation fuel. Producers are eligible for larger credits as the emission of the fuels they produce approach zero. The credit applies to fuel produced after December 31, 2024 and sold on or before December 31, 2027. A sustainable aviation fuel-specific credit is available for fuel produced after December 31, 2022 and before January 1, 2025.
