Navigating 45Z, CI Scoring & the New Market Signals Reshaping Agricultural Carbon Accounting
1:30 pm
The emergence of 45Z and carbon intensity-driven market incentives is reshaping how agricultural emissions are rewarded and reported. This workshop offers a practical deep dive into how 45Z works, where it differs from Scope 3 accounting, and how it is influencing farmer incentives and corporate sustainability strategy.
This workshop will:
- Break down 45Z eligibility, CI scoring requirements, and their implications for farmers, elevators, processors, and corporate buyers
- Clarify how CI accounting differs from traditional Scope 3 methods and why misalignment often creates strategic confusion
- Share real examples of how 45Z is influencing procurement planning, incentive structures, and regional supply chain configuration
