Comment from American Wood Council

Summary: The American Wood Council supports the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit but urges the Treasury to ensure the regulations specifically facilitate the use of forest biomass as a feedstock. They argue that the current proposed methodologies (like 45ZCF-GREET) may create barriers for forest-based fuels and request clear guidance that recognizes the carbon neutrality of forest bioenergy and the environmental benefits of using wood residuals to reduce wildfire risks.
