45Z Tax Credit Preliminary Guidance Released; No GREET Model Yet

Communicating importance of value-added products

Facing increasing pressure to quantify the value of export promotion efforts to investors, a U.S. industry organization retained WPI to develop a quantitative model that better communicated the importance of exports.
