A primer on California’s Scoping Plan, the real-world results over the last five-plus years, and the central role of biomass-based diesel in meeting the state’s goals prepared by Stillwater Associates LLC for Clean Fuels

Clean fuels address our nation's energy needs while strengthening our food system

Clean Fuels and CABA submitted formal comments to CARB following the agency’s public forum on biofuels and land use change emphasizing the importance of using the most accurate science to inform land use change modeling and policy decisions under California’s LCFS

This loophole invites duty-free access to the United States for imported renewable diesel, putting U.S. biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) producers –who are essential to America’s energy security and to U.S. farm security – at a competitive disadvantage. Given the ongoing imports of foreign renewable diesel and current challenges for domestic producers and farmers, we ask that you take prompt action to close this loophole.

U.S. soybean farmers and processors could lose between $3.2 billion and $7.5 billion in crop value over the next two years if EPA does not completely reallocate recently exempted RFS volumes.

Domestic production of biodiesel and renewable diesel has doubled since 2020 and is poised to continue growing. Our industry has made substantial investments over the past several years in both biofuel production, feedstock supply, and distribution infrastructure. A strong signal from EPA on the RFS will unleash domestic biodiesel and renewable diesel production to resume planned growth and get many Americans back to work.

A strong RFS rule will benefit our constituents by lowering prices at the pump, creating and maintaining U.S. biomanufacturing jobs, and driving economic growth. The domestic biofuels industry stands ready to increase availability of affordable fuels options and support the administration’s goal of American energy dominance.
