OPAL Fuels (NASDAQ:OPAL) announced that it has entered into a master agreement establishing a framework to monetize $100 million of Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits over the next several years. The first closing is anticipated to take place in this quarter.

This agreement represents another milestone in advancing OPAL Fuels' strategy to optimize the value of its vertically integrated platform, enabling fleets to displace diesel with renewable and compressed natural gas (RNG and CNG) while delivering cost savings, greater pricing stability, and measurable sustainability outcomes to fleets.

Section 45Z of the U.S. tax code, or the Clean Fuel Production Credit, was created and updated with bipartisan support to encourage production of low-carbon transportation fuels. Continued bipartisan support for the credit has provided greater industry confidence and policy certainty in the longevity and stability of the program, encouraging sustained investment in the renewable fuels sector.

"This agreement furthers OPAL Fuels' ability to enhance value from our operating platform and new facilities as they come online," said Adam Comora, Co-Chief Executive Officer of OPAL Fuels. "These proceeds will contribute to our overall corporate liquidity for future growth investments in both new RNG projects and fueling infrastructure that will accelerate broader fleet adoption of RNG and CNG, one of the primary solutions available at scale today that can meaningfully improve economics in heavy-duty transportation."
