Clean Fuels Applauds Congressional Letter Supporting Robust RFS Volumes

Share

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America thanked 49 Senators and Representatives who signed a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, urging him to finalize the 2026-2027 RFS rule as quickly as possible and calling for "reallocation of 100% of the waived gallons from any granted Small Refinery Exemptions."

"These volumes matter - not just to biofuel producers, but to the farmers who grow the corn, soybeans, and other feedstocks that power this economy, and to every American who enjoys lower prices at the pump because of biofuels," the letter states. "As EPA considers its supplemental proposal, we urge the agency to fully reallocate 100% of the waived gallons for compliance years 2023-2025."

Clean Fuels particularly thanked Sens. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Reps. Randy Feenstra (R-IA) and Nikki Budzinski (D-IL) for co-leading the bipartisan, bicameral letter.

"Clean Fuels greatly appreciates the recognition by congressional champions that timely, robust RFS volumes matter not just to producers, but also to farmers and American consumers," added Kurt Kovarik, Clean Fuels' Vice President of Federal Affairs. "We appreciate and support EPA's efforts to finalize timely, robust RFS volumes and ensure they are not eroded by small refinery exemptions. Clean Fuels' analysis shows that farmers risk losing billions of dollars in crop value if EPA does not fully reallocate small refinery exemptions granted this year."
