Congresswoman Ashley Hinson from Iowa's 2nd District has expressed her views on the Department of Treasury's new guidance regarding the GREET model for the sustainable aviation fuel tax credit. In her statement, Hinson emphasized the need for a more tailored approach to support Iowa farmers in the sustainable aviation fuel market.
Hinson acknowledged the positive aspect of farmers being rewarded for their conservation practices but raised concerns about the Administration's decision to implement a one-size-fits-all strategy. She stated, "While I am glad farmers can now be rewarded for their good conservation practices, I am disappointed the Administration chose a one-size-fits-all approach that will disadvantage many Iowa farmers." Hinson emphasized the importance of evaluating conservation practices based on their individual merits rather than imposing a standardized set of techniques.
Highlighting her commitment to advocating for Iowa farmers, Hinson affirmed, "I will continue to engage with the Administration to ensure Iowa farmers can take full advantage of opportunities in the sustainable aviation fuel market." She has been actively involved in promoting the GREET model to enhance participation opportunities for Iowa farmers in the sustainable aviation fuel market.
Hinson's efforts included co-leading a bipartisan letter urging the Department of the Treasury to adopt the GREET model for the sustainable aviation fuel tax credit. Additionally, she emphasized the significance of utilizing the GREET model during a House Appropriations Committee markup.
The congresswoman's dedication to supporting Iowa farmers and promoting sustainable practices in the aviation fuel industry remains steadfast as she seeks to address the challenges faced by farmers in her district.
As the discussions on sustainable aviation fuels continue, Hinson's advocacy and engagement with the Administration reflect her commitment to ensuring that Iowa farmers are well-positioned to benefit from the evolving opportunities in the market.
