Why Agriculture Matters to Fuel Economics
An Executive Brief on CI Data, Audit Risk, and Revenue Integrity
Executive Summary
45Z materially changes the economics of biofuels. Tax credit value is directly tied to carbon intensity. Carbon intensity depends on upstream agricultural data. Most organizations are approaching 45Z through finance, policy interpretation, or CI modeling. In practice, outcomes are determined much earlier—where field-level data is captured, verified, and governed. When that foundation is weak, credit value becomes fragile. Audit exposure increases. Monetization slows or fails. This brief outlines where 45Z programs break down and what it takes to execute reliably at scale.
