Industry Leaders Collaborate to Launch the Clean Fuel Credit Consortium (CFCC) in the Ethanol Market

The Clean Fuel Credit Consortium is a collaboration between Cultura’s businesses, Verdova, Vericap, and JAG Group, Inc., unlocking liquidity and tax credit value in the ethanol supply chain, connecting major biofuel producers, tax credit buyers, and compliance systems for the benefit of the entire ethanol value chain

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cultura Technologies (“Cultura”) today announced that its newly formed brand, CreditCrop, has joined the Clean Fuel Credit Consortium (CFCC), a multi-company collaboration with Verdova, Vericap, and JAG Group, Inc. The consortium aims to support clean-fuel credit generation and regulatory compliance across the North American ethanol marketplace.

The CFCC goal is to establish a unified, verifiable framework for ethanol producers, farmers, and corporate buyers to participate in the evolving market for 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits in the United States and Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) in Canada. By connecting data, credits, and capital from field to plant, the consortium seeks to convert verified operational data into transferable market value.

The consortium’s approach enables verified data from farms, retailers, and ethanol producers to support traceable, compliant clean-fuel credit generation. This process is designed to help buyers access verified credits, while producers and farmers may benefit from access to the highest-value markets without managing complex, fragmented systems.

With more than 40 Category A ethanol projects across the U.S., the CFCC represents potential access to an estimated $3 billion in 45Z tax credits. The consortium is intended to provide a scalable framework for auditable participation in clean-fuel credit programs.

"We are uniting the industry’s leading data and expertise to bring clarity and confidence to clean-fuel credit markets,” said Jeff Schreiner, Senior Vice President of Global Collaboration at Cultura Technologies. “This is an efficient and high-value path for ethanol producers to turn verified farm and operational data into market liquidity.”

Recent US federal legislation includes provisions that allow clean-fuel producers to transfer 45Z tax credits for cash. This change may provide near-term liquidity for producers and the opportunity for them to invest in compliance infrastructure, enhance traceability, and accelerate participation in incentive markets.

“We believe this consortium delivers an efficient and high-value path solution for ethanol producers and corporate buyers alike,” said Dan Olson, Founder and CEO of JAG Group, Inc. “It’s built on real-world feedback from key U.S. ethanol stakeholders.”

By partnering with a growing number of leading data and Ag Tech providers — including Greenstone, Solentra, AgVision, DTN, and more — the CFCC framework allows for interoperability across multiple data platforms and vendors. Its vendor-agnostic approach enables each participant in the ethanol value chain to benefit from transparent credit creation and efficient monetization.

“Corporate buyers gain an early-entry opportunity to secure top-tier 45Z credits under favorable terms with long-term scalability,” added Bela Gulacsi, Founder and CEO of Vericap.

“Our approach recognizes and rewards the clean practices of farmers and ethanol producers, ensuring they share directly in the revenue generated by sustainable production,” said Andy Jenks, Co-Founder of Verdova.
