Abstract

The article discusses the Trump administration's proposal to increase the blending of biofuels into gasoline and diesel, aiming for a record 24.02 billion gallons in 2026, which is nearly 8% above the previous target. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seeks to discourage the use of imported biofuels and promote domestic production, with the intention of benefiting American farmers and enhancing national energy independence. The proposal has garnered support from ethanol and biodiesel producers, while facing criticism from refiners who argue that the aggressive quotas could threaten their operations and increase compliance costs. Additionally, the EPA plans to adjust the credit system for biofuels, particularly by reducing credits for imported biofuels and those made with foreign feedstocks. [Extracted from the article]
