Trump admin reveals record renewable fuel requirements, while delaying 50% RIN credit cut for imported feedstocks
"U.S. soybean farmers needed a win to boost domestic markets this year, and President Trump, Administrator Zeldin, and Secretary Rollins delivered in a big way. ASA is grateful for the tireless efforts of EPA and USDA to ensure the soy biofuel value chain could benefit from the strongest RVOs ever finalized."
"The 2026-2027 RVOs will increase soybean oil use, boost U.S. soybean processing, and grow domestic biofuel markets for our crop. ASA and our soybean farmer members applaud the Trump Administration for getting this tremendous rule across the finish line."
"The EPA is notably delaying its plan to cut credits generated by imported feedstocks by two years. To prioritize domestically sourced biofuel feedstock, the EPA last summer proposed a 50 percent credit discount for fuels made from imported feedstocks, beginning in 2026."
The Trump administration announced record-high renewable fuel mandates, which are expected to significantly increase biodiesel and renewable diesel production. The Environmental Protection Agency's new requirements will enhance demand for soybeans and canola, benefiting U.S. farmers. The mandates will also support Canadian canola growers until 2028. The American Soybean Association expressed gratitude for the strong renewable volume obligations, which will enhance soybean oil use and domestic biofuel markets. Additionally, the EPA delayed plans to cut credits for imported feedstocks to prioritize domestic sources.
