Clean Fuels staff and member companies testified at EPA’s Public Hearing on the Proposed 2026-27 RFS, thanking EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and staff for proposing a much-needed step-change in the Biomass-Based Diesel obligations. Clean Fuels also encouraged the agency to maintain the proposed volumes as it addresses outstanding small refinery exemption petitions.

EPA’s proposal makes a much-needed step-change in biomass-based diesel volumes for both 2026 and 2027. At the same time, EPA proposes to change the RIN generation values of imported fuel and U.S. fuel made from imported feedstock. Clean Fuels looks forward to carefully evaluating this proposal and its potential impacts on the market.

Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America delivered a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, urging him to set the 2026 RFS biomass-based diesel volume at no less than 5.25 billion gallons and allow continued growth in the 2027 volumes. Forty-eight member companies signed the letter in support of the requested volumes.

Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America thanked 28 House Members who sent a letter to President Donald Trump, encouraging the administration to adopt a timely, robust Renewable Fuel Standard rule for 2026 and beyond. The bipartisan letter was led by Reps. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) and Angie Craig (D-MN).

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.
