What this bill would do
The Farmer First Fuel Incentives Act seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It introduces a requirement that fuel used for the clean fuel production credit must be derived from a feedstock produced or grown within the United States. The bill also directs the adjustment of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions to exclude emissions from indirect land use changes. Additionally, it extends the expiration date of the clean fuel production credit. Finally, the bill changes the rounding of the clean fuel production credit emissions factor.
