Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America submitted a highly detailed, technical response to USDA’s Request for Information on climate smart agriculture practices for biofuel feedstocks. Clean Fuels emphasized the need for immediate guidance and certainty before biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel producers and their farmer partners transition to the credit in January.
“Lack of regulatory certainty is already putting thriving businesses at risk as fuel producers are unable to make important business decisions regarding their fuel,” the letter states.
Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America delivered a formal notice of intent to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for its failure to issue timely 2026 Renewable Fuel Standards. By statute, EPA is required to finalize volumes 14 months before the start of the compliance year; for 2026, that deadline would come at the end of October this year. On June 28, the White House Office of Management and Budget released the Spring 2024 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, setting out a timeline for EPA to propose the 2026 RFS Volumes by March 2025 and finalize the rule by December 2025.
Today, a bipartisan group of 37 U.S. House members, led by Reps. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) and Angie Craig (D-MN), sent a letter to EPA Administrator Michael Regan encouraging him to support biomass-based diesel and advanced biofuels volumes that fully account for availability and production capacity. Clean Fuels applauded the letter and thanked all of the Representatives who led and signed.
