Bipartisan Lawmakers Call for Stronger Long‑Term Support for US Biofuels
A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has urged the administration to reaffirm its commitment to the country’s biofuel sector, warning that delays or policy uncertainty could harm farmers, producers and consumers.
U.S. Representatives Adrian Smith (R‑NE) and Nikki Budzinski (D‑IL) led a letter signed by 37 colleagues to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The lawmakers called on the administration to propose a supplemental rule by 16 October 2026 that protects the integrity of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) biofuel volume requirements for 2026 and 2027.
