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.”

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.
