Renewable energies provide clean, low-carbon fuels for transportation. It is North America’s largest producer of advanced biofuels.

The Biodiesel Tax Credit (“BTC”) is a federal biodiesel blend excise tax credit where the first person to mix pure biomass-based diesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel receives a refundable tax credit of $ 1.00 per gallon. This is an incentive shared in the advanced biofuels production and distribution chain through routine, daily trading and negotiation. The BTC was first implemented on January 1, 2005, but could expire and was then reintroduced, sometimes afterwards. In February 2018, the BTC was reinstated retrospectively for 2017, but not for 2018.
