MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Proposed legislation could kickstart production of aviation biofuels in Wisconsin. Three Republican lawmakers want to give producers a tax credit of a dollar fifty per gallon to make aviation biofuels here.
“We are a top 10 producer of biofuels and with some state support, we can take Wisconsin biofuels to the next level and start competing with some of the states that you traditionally think of, like Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana,” said Jason Mugnaini with Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.
The bill from state Senators Pat Testin and Romaine Quinn and Representative David Steffen would require aviation biofuels to be produced from American sourced ag and forestry byproducts.
