Western Biomass Energy LLC, a subsidiary of Blue Sugars Corporation (previously KL Energy) reported the major milestone of claiming the first
cellulosic ethanol tax credits under the RFS2 for a 20,069 gallon batch of cellulosic ethanol produced from bagasse (sugar cane waste) in April 2012.
It is important to note that more advanced biofuels still receive
tax support:
cellulosic ethanol receives $ 1.01 per gallon in
tax credits, but that is set to expire at the end of this year.
