- A credit for exporting dyed fuels or gasoline blendstocks
- The biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture credit (Expired after tax year 2024)

Note: The expired credits for biodiesel or renewable diesel mixture credit, and SAF credit have been replaced by the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit. For more details, click here.
