The Digest’s 2026 Multi-Slide Guide to 45Q Monetization in the Bioeconomy

Biogenic CO2 capture allows bioeconomy operators to monetize the $85-per-ton 45Q tax credit. However, 45Q and 45Z are mutually exclusive per facility-year and cannot be additively stacked on the same carbon ton. Each captured ton legally requires a single “home,” preventing double claims across tax, fuel CI, or voluntary CDR markets. Because recapture liability follows the credit, operators must isolate risk using special purpose vehicles. Finally, pipeline permitting delays make on-site or converted-line storage the most bankable route.
