Consumers want to decarbonize and are already doing so using Bioheat ® Fuel in existing home heating fuel systems. These systems merit Energy Star designation
Using biodiesel and renewable diesel today will lower health care impacts and costs for all populations living in and near these areas including minority, low-income, and indigenous populations.
The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization notes that clean, sustainable fuels are needed right now to drive emissions reductions and set us on a road to a clean transportation future.
Our industry’s growth is consistent with the goals to address environmental health and provide consumer benefits at the pump
We urge EPA to re-examine its assessments of the biofuels and agricultural markets and the methodology it uses to assess land cover and land management change
Increasing production of clean fuels through the RFS improves U.S. energy security, lowers diesel fuel prices, and generates carbon and emission reductions today that are necessary to meet future national environmental goals
Infograph: Since 2011, California's biodiesel and renewable diesel use has reduced the state’s greenhouse gas emissions by 105 billion pounds.
It is critical that Treasury and IRS implement a verified, current, and science-based emissions rate methodology to set tax credit values.
In 2021, while petroleum production fell, the biodiesel and renewable diesel industry grew and added jobs. Stable tax incentives were a key reason.
The biodiesel tax incentive supports thousands of rural jobs and environmental benefits worth $4 billion in 2020.
The RFS increases the supply of distillate fuels used to transport consumer items. The added supply keeps prices at the pump lower.
USDA's Rural Energy Pilot Program should support biodiesel and renewable diesel projects, not just distributed renewable electricity.
