XCF Global Inc., an emerging U.S.-based producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), on July 9 announced that its New Rise Renewables Reno facility has begun producing renewable fuels.
The U.S. EIA maintained its 2026 production forecasts for renewable diesel and a category of fuel that includes SAF in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released July 7. The outlook for 2026 biodiesel production was revised down.
The European Parliament on July 8 voted to reject a proposed EU regulation that would have phased out the use of soybean oil as a biofuel feedstock by 2030. Representatives of the EU’s biobased diesel industry applauded the decision.
Total U.S. operable biofuel capacity expanded slightly in April, with gains for renewable diesel and associated fuels. Ethanol capacity was down slightly, while biodiesel capacity remained unchanged, according to data released by the U.S. EIA.
A new nationwide poll of more than 2,000 registered voters found a strong majority of Americans support the Renewable Fuel Standard and believe renewable fuel play a key role in enhancing national energy security.
