Summary of Bill S 692

Bill 119 s 692, also known as the Sustainable Vessel Fuel Act, aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to make changes to the clean fuel production credit. This credit is currently available to businesses that produce certain types of clean fuels, such as biodiesel or renewable diesel.

The proposed amendment in this bill would create a special rate for sustainable vessel fuel. This means that businesses that produce sustainable fuel specifically for use in vessels, such as ships or boats, would be eligible for a different, likely more favorable, tax credit rate.

The goal of this bill is to incentivize the production and use of sustainable fuel in the maritime industry. By providing a special tax credit rate for sustainable vessel fuel, the hope is that more businesses will invest in producing this type of fuel, which is better for the environment and can help reduce emissions from ships and boats. Overall, the Sustainable Vessel Fuel Act is aimed at promoting the use of cleaner fuels in the maritime industry and encouraging businesses to invest in sustainable practices.
