A Michigan lawmaker says his newly introduced bill will help incentivize demand and educate consumers about biodiesel.

Representative John Fitzgerald tells Brownfield the bipartisan legislation provides retail fuel operators a tax credit for selling higher blends of biodiesel, like B5+ and B11+.

“This is kind of two-pronged as it helps growers produce soybeans and it also helps people produce that biodiesel that we so desperately need to help to accelerate our ambitious goals to become carbon neutral,” he shares.
