Clean Fuels urges Treasury to ensure a level playing field for American farmers, by eliminating penalties for speculative indirect effects assigned to U.S. crop feedstocks. Clean Fuels also urges Treasury to adhere to the legislative language indicating that co-processed fuels do not qualify for the credit.
Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, National Oilseed Processors Association, North American Renderers Association, and U.S. Canola Association sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin encouraging the agency to establish the 2026 biomass-based diesel volume at 5.25 billion gallons.
Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America and other groups representing agriculture and maritime fleets thanked Sens. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), John Garamendi (D-CA) and others for introducing the bipartisan Renewable Fuel for Ocean-Going Vessels Act.
“Since the enactment of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), our nation has benefited from increased energy security, an enhanced agricultural industry, and lower carbon fuel options,” the groups – which include the American Petroleum Institute – write. “We believe strong, steady volumes for conventional biofuel targets, biomass-based diesel, and advanced fuels would more accurately reflect the availability and ongoing investments in feedstocks and production capacity.”
Clean Fuels Alliance America and nine national and state associations wrote to House and Senate leaders requesting a one-year extension of the §40A Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Tax Incentive.
