Established by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, the Cellulosic Production Tax Credit is a credit of up to $1.01/gallon for “liquid fuel produced from any lignocellulosic or hemicellulosic matter that is available on a renewable basis or any cultivated algae, cyanobacteria, or lemna.” Lignocellulose and hemicellulose are both components of the cell walls of plants. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of FY2021 extended this credit.
