North Dakota Senate Bill 2333 proposes a low-carbon fuels fund to support ethanol producers in lowering their carbon intensity (CI), boosting local corn demand, and positioning the state’s ethanol industry for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) opportunities.
Introduced by Sen. Terry Wanzek, the bill would replace the state’s existing ethanol production incentive, reallocating funds from farm vehicle registration fees to support efficiency upgrades, CO2 capture, and ethanol yield improvements.
Supporters, including the North Dakota Ethanol Producers Association and the state’s Corn Growers Association, argue the bill is essential for keeping North Dakota’s ethanol industry competitive.
