Taxpayers for Common Sense, along with Environment America, Friends of the Earth, R Street Institute, and U.S. PIRG, submitted the following comments to the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to “Credits for Clean Hydrogen and Clean Fuel Production” (Notice 2022-58). The comments are focused on the implementation of new tax credits created in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), specifically the Clean Fuel Production Credit (Section 45Z). The tax credit has potential to bring back wasteful ethanol subsidies from the dead and extend subsidies for mature biofuels and biomass industries, depending on implementation.
