Section 45Z Webinar: Compliance for Clean Fuel Producers
Join Snell & Wilmer, Empact Technologies, and Euclid Transactional for a 60-minute webinar on 45Z compliance for clean fuel producers. Section 45Z can provide up to $1.00 per gallon, but producers must substantiate more than an emissions rate. Feedstock sourcing, qualified sales, labor compliance, and supporting records all affect whether the credit can be claimed, insured, and monetized. The proposed regulations add safe harbors and certifications while raising practical questions about buyer certificates, foreign feedstocks, CI scores, FEOC restrictions, and the evidence required to support a defensible claim.
In this CLE, we will cover:
- How prevailing wage and apprenticeship compliance affects access to the full $1.00-per-gallon credit amount;
- What producers should retain to substantiate eligible feedstock sourcing and qualified sales, including when buyer certificates are unavailable;
- How the CI score safe harbor and third-party certification process affect emissions-rate substantiation; and
- How FEOC restrictions, tax insurance, and diligence expectations shape the documentation producers need to build now.
CLE Credit: One hour of CLE Credit is anticipated.
