U.S. Sens. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.; Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill.; John Boozman, R-Ark.; and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; recently launched the Senate Sustainable Aviation Caucus to promote the longevity of the aviation industry and the renewable fuels industry.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Rep. Tracey Mann, R-Kan., on Sept. 24 introduced Farmer First Fuel Incentives Act, a bill that aims to extend the 45Z credit through 2034 and restrict the credit to fuels made from domestically produced feedstock.
The U.S. EPA has announced that 2.06 billion RINs were generated under the RFS in August, down from 2.07 billion generated during the same month of last year. Total RIN generation for the first eight months of 2024 reached 16.49 billion.
Strategic Biofuels has published a free resource, “A Practical Guide to Forestry Feedstock Under the Renewable Fuel Standard.” The guide is the result of the work completed as part of a cooperative agreement signed with the U.S. Forest Service.
The RFA has asked the U.S. EPA for an update on the agency’s investigation of certain biofuel feedstock imports and is urging the adoption of more stringent feedstock verification requirements for imported used cooking oil and tallow.
