Increased biodiesel and renewable diesel production can meet growing energy demand, support economic growth and provide new opportunities for farmers.
Industry Growth Increases the Benefits
American biodiesel and renewable diesel production has doubled since 2020. Investments in capacity and processing support tens of thousands of good-paying American jobs, provide consumers with more affordable options to fuel their vehicles, and contribute billions of dollars in economic opportunity.
The RFS Should Support Industry Momentum
The EPA recognizes the industry’s proven capacity and investments in rural communities. Stakeholders are unified in supporting a robust step-change for biomass-based diesel in the 2026-2027 Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO).
Strengthen the RFS in 2025
Now is the time to finalize a robust RVO that supports American jobs, drives American energy dominance, and creates new opportunities for American farmers both today and into the future.
What matters most to me is what biodiesel does for farmers, small towns, and rural economies. A few years ago, nearly all the soybeans in North Dakota had to be shipped to the coast for export. Then we built two soybean crush plants to feed the growing biofuels market. Now, over half the state’s soybeans are processed right here. That keeps the value local—and creates jobs in rural communities that need them.

Growing Support for American Jobs
Fuel producers, farm and commodity groups, and RFS stakeholders are unified in asking EPA to set robust 2026 RFS biomass-based diesel volumes that match industry growth and investment in making fuel available. See who is standing with farmers.
