American Carbon Alliance CEO Tom Buis shared his perspective in the Des Moines Register on one of the greatest opportunities facing American agriculture: sustainable aviation fuel.
At a time when farm income remains under pressure and producers are searching for new markets, sustainable aviation fuel represents a chance to create long-term demand for American-grown crops while strengthening rural economies. But realizing that opportunity will require smart policies, continued innovation, and the infrastructure needed to produce lower-carbon fuels.
In the op-ed, Tom explains why Iowa is uniquely positioned to lead this next chapter of renewable fuels, why carbon capture plays an important role in expanding sustainable aviation fuel production, and why policymakers should embrace solutions that benefit both farmers and consumers.
As conversations about America’s energy future continue, it’s important that agriculture has a seat at the table. Iowa farmers have always been innovators, and they deserve policies that allow them to compete and succeed in the growing global market for low-carbon fuels.
