RFA Salutes Unanimous Passage of California E15 Clean-Up Legislation

(Renewable Fuels Association) The Renewable Fuels Association welcomed the passage late Monday night of Calif. SB 795, the E15 Clean-Up Act, which removes the final impediments that are preventing Californians from accessing the lower-cost, lower-carbon E15 fuel blend at the pump. The bill passed unanimously out of both the Assembly (56–0) and the Senate (34–0).

“The passage of this bill means Californians will finally be able to enjoy savings at the pump with a lower-cost fuel blend that’s also better for the environment,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “We thank principal authors Sens. Bob Archuletta and Suzette Martinez Valladares, and Assemblymember David Alvarez, as well as the entire bipartisan California Problem Solvers Caucus for their leadership and commitment to reducing gas prices for California families. We are also grateful to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his ongoing strong support of E15.”

The bill, prepared in the wake of last year’s unanimously supported legislation permitting E15 sales, allows retailers to use existing vapor recovery equipment to dispense E15 if the manufacturer of that equipment submits a statement of compatibility to the relevant state agencies.

The California Environmental Policy Council voted unanimously on Aug. 18 to approve the E15 multimedia analysis—the final step in the regulatory process to formally approve E15. CARB is expected to approve its E15 regulation at its Sept. 24 meeting.

A 2024 study by economists at UC Berkeley and the U.S. Naval Academy found that E15 could save California drivers up to $2.7 billion at the pump annually, and a new report from the U.S. Department of Energy shows drivers with access to E15 in other parts of the country are recently saving $0.47 per gallon on average.

The Renewable Fuels Association continues its work in educating California fuel retailers and others about implementing E15 sales, with a set of workshops coming to San Diego Sept. 9 in conjunction with the CFCA Summit.  READ MORE

Excerpt from Aemetis: “As a leading California ethanol producer for the past 15 years, Aemetis has long advocated for the state to allow E15 in order to lower the cost of gasoline and provide a choice for consumers,” said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. “This regulatory fix is a major step in opening California’s market to more American-made ethanol.”

The use of E15 instead of E10 in California would add more than 600 million gallons of annual demand for ethanol, which is about 10 times the capacity of the Aemetis 65 million gallon per year ethanol plant in Keyes, California. In addition to ethanol, the Aemetis plant produces more than two million pounds per day of distillers grain that is supplied to about 80 dairies in the Central Valley to feed more than 100,000 dairy cows with high-value animal feed. The Aemetis plant is also the largest California producer of renewable CO2, which is captured and used in beverages and food processing.

“We are grateful for Governor Newsom and the State Legislature’s support of E15 as a choice to lower fuel costs for consumers and reduce pollution from on-road transportation,” added McAfee. “We look forward to continuing to work with California legislators and regulatory agencies to advance clean fuels in California, while driving down costs of food production in the state.”

SB 795 now awaits Governor Newsom’s signature.

Excerpt from Ethanol Producer Magazine: Efforts to allow E15 sales in California have been ongoing for nearly a decade. The process to approve new fuel blends within the state is uniquely difficult, which has caused significant delays in approving E15 blends. Under a state law implemented in 1999, any regulatory change to California’s gasoline blend requires a multimedia evaluation and approval by the California Environmental Policy Council—an intensive process unique to California.

The multimedia evaluations are conducted by a working group and typically take 2-5 years to complete. They are performed based on a three-tier structure. The California Air Resources Board began the process of a multimedia evaluation for E15 in 2018. A Tier III report, the multimedia risk assessment final report, was circulated to relevant agencies in late 2022, but little progress was made in the following years. 

The multimedia evaluation process, however, may finally be coming to an end. According to the Renewable Fuels Association, the California Environmental Policy Council voted unanimously on Aug. 18 to approve the E15 multimedia analysis—the final step in the regulatory process to formally approve E15. CARB is expected to approve its E15 regulation at its Sept. 24 meeting.

While the regulatory process was stalled, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers continued to work via legislative means to open the state to E15 sales. California in October 2025 formally became the final U.S. state to allow sales of E15 when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 30. That legislation allowed E15 to be sold within the state while the California Air Resources Board completes its ongoing work to study whether the fuel blend can meet the state’s clean air requirements. Despite passage of that bill, regulatory barriers have continued to stall E15 availability in California. 

The E15 Clean-Up Act aims to overcome those regulatory barriers, providing a near-term path to California E15 sales. The bill will now be sent to Newsom for his signature. He is widely expected to sign the bill.

...

“This is a great day for drivers in the Golden State. Lawmakers have opened the door for them to access E15, which sells for less and burns cleaner than other fuel options,” said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy. “Last year, California lawmakers took action against high prices at the pump by unanimously approving AB 30, legalizing E15 in California. Since then, the state has worked through regulatory questions that have been addressed by SB 795. We look forward to working with state regulators and our retail partners to save drivers money by getting E15 into their fuel tanks as quickly as possible.”    READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Energy.AgWired.com:  The Renewable Fuels Association is ready to work on educating California fuel retailers again, now that the E15 Clean-Up Act has been passed by the state legislature, paving the way to finally allow sales of the lower-cost, lower-carbon transportation fuel.

RFA’s Robert White says the bill, which allows retailers to use existing vapor recovery equipment to dispense E15 if the manufacturer of that equipment submits a statement of compatibility to the relevant state agencies, passed unanimously out of both the Assembly (56–0) and the Senate (34–0). “It was just exciting news that for a second time in 14 months, an E15 bill in California had no negative votes, unanimous two times in a row,” White said during an interview at Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa this week. It was this same time last year that the state legislature passed a bill to legalize sales of E15 immediately upon the governor’s signature, which has been held up by the equipment issue.

White says the fix will not go into effect until January 1, but that is just around the corner. “So on the heels of that next week is the CFCA summit where we’re putting on an E15 workshop,” said White. “So we’ll be gearing folks up for the coming year, teaching them again about the economics and why in a state that’s so short of liquid fuel, so high of fuel prices, how E15 can help immediately.”

EPA Announces Action on 2025 Small Refinery Exemptions and Related Actions

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)   Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced decisions for 34 small refinery exemption (SRE) petitions under the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) program for 2025. In consultation with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), EPA reviewed and considered information submitted by each petitioning small refinery. EPA then evaluated each SRE petition consistent with the Clean Air Act and case law.

Based on that analysis, EPA is exempting 1.76 billion RFS compliance credits, known as Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), for 29 small refineries. EPA will propose to reallocate 100 percent of the difference between projected and actual exempted volumes for 2025 SREs into the 2026 and 2027 Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) before the end of October 2026.

Due to the agency’s 2025 SRE decisions, EPA will also be announcing a direct final rule to extend the 2025 RVO compliance date by 30 days to October 1, 2026. This will allow the market to appropriately account for the additional RINs.

EPA is making the following 2025 SRE determinations:

EPA Determination Number of Small Refineries Receiving
Full (100%) 18
Partial (50%) 11
Denial (0%) 3
Ineligible (0%) 2

In 2020, EPA established a methodology in regulation for predicting the expected volumes that would be exempted based on an average of the past three years. Before that rulemaking, SREs were not considered as part of the volumes – in other words, all SREs had the result of reducing volumes. Following EPA’s methodology, the agency estimated that 990 million RINs would be exempted in 2025 in “Set 2” and put into the volumes. However, due to more small refineries requesting exemptions and changes in financial circumstances, EPA is exempting more RINs than estimated in “Set 2.”

Based on agency experiences, DOE is evaluating how it has historically utilized their 2011 disproportionate economic harm methodology and the information needed for future small refinery petitions to account for current market circumstances in this new phase of the RFS program. DOE will continue to seek public feedback from all impacted stakeholders on these analyses. 

Since the beginning of the Trump Administration, EPA has observed inaccurate and misleading reporting on the agency’s RFS actions that have contributed to significant market movements despite no official statement or action from the Administration. Most recently, misleading reports and information led to significant volatility in the RIN market. These incidents raise serious concerns about the potential misuse of material nonpublic information and possible market manipulation. EPA continues to work with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and will expand its coordination to ensure compliance with all applicable federal laws and protect the integrity of the RIN market.

Excerpt from Renewable Fuels Association: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today granted dozens of new small refinery exemptions from 2025 Renewable Fuel Standard blending requirements and laid out a proposed plan to restore the lost renewable fuel volume in the near future.

Of the 34 pending exemption petitions, EPA granted full exemptions to 18 and partial (50 percent) exemptions to 11. It also denied three petitions and determined two petitions to be ineligible. This represents a total of 1.76 billion exempted RINs, or renewable fuel blending credits. EPA simultaneously announced it will propose to reallocate 100 percent of the newly exempted renewable fuel volume into the 2026 and 2027 renewable volume obligations before the end of October 2026.

“While we continue to believe most of the SREs issued today are completely unjustified, we are somewhat encouraged that EPA is taking steps to minimize the damage through reallocation,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “The proposed plan laid out by EPA today creates a pathway for ensuring no net loss in renewable fuel demand, and it is crucially important that the agency moves quickly to faithfully implement this approach. At a time when oil refiners are reporting record-high profit margins, gasoline supplies are tightening, and consumers are paying record-high prices at the pump, the administration should focus on efforts to increase—not decrease—the domestic production and use of more affordable biofuels like ethanol.”

Cooper noted that ethanol with a RIN credit attached is selling for $2 per gallon wholesale today, compared to $3.08 per gallon for gasoline, underscoring the fact that ethanol is helping to provide economic relief at the pump for American families.

Still, unwarranted SREs continue to plague the RFS with uncertainty and instability, Cooper said, noting that reform of the “broken SRE program” is needed. “The RFS has been in place for more than 20 years, and Congress never intended for SREs to be a permanent entitlement for Fortune 500 oil refining companies,” he said. “The exemptions were always meant to be a temporary measure to give truly small, independent refiners a little more time to come into compliance with the RFS program. Unfortunately, many so-called small refiners have been allowed to exploit this loophole for two decades, putting American consumers, farmers, and biofuel producers on the losing end.”

EPA’s own analyses show that RIN costs for all refiners—big and small—are passed along to buyers of refined fuels at the wholesale level, and those costs are offset when lower-cost renewable fuels are blended with gasoline, Cooper noted.

Media reports on the looming SRE announcement led to an effort by RFA and its allies across the agriculture and biofuels industry to soften the blow. Numerous state and federal lawmakers, members of the Trump administration, and other leaders also stepped in to voice strong support for renewable fuels, Cooper said. “We are grateful to the many elected and appointed officials who spoke out publicly over the past week about the potential damage these exemptions could do to farmers, renewable fuel producers, and American families,” he said. “They understand what’s at risk in their home states and districts, and we appreciate their willingness to stand up for their constituents.”

June polling for RFA by Morning Consult found that more than three-quarters of respondents with an opinion want oil companies to be required to meet their renewable fuel blending requirements. Less than a quarter want oil companies to be allowed to avoid them.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Clean Fuels Alliance America: Kurt Kovarik, Clean Fuels’ Vice President of Federal Affairs, stated in reaction: “America’s biodiesel, renewable diesel and SAF producers have been working overtime to meet the historic RFS volumes announced just last March. The industry is producing at record pace today, providing a strong domestic market for America’s farmers, investing billions in rural communities, contributing to America’s energy security, and providing American consumers a price break at the pump – in short, delivering measurable results on the administration’s goals for the RFS. We’re hopeful that today’s action won’t reverse the progress we’ve made and that our industry can maintain faith in the RFS program.

“Clean Fuels fundamentally disagrees that small refiners need reprieve from the tepid 2025 RFS volumes set by the prior administration. We appreciate the White House’s commitment to hold biofuel producers harmless and will work with EPA to quickly finalize the promised supplemental rule. We will continue to press the administration to reallocate future small refinery exemptions to ensure they do not harm farmers and other stakeholders in clean fuel production.

“Clean Fuels and its members are extremely grateful for the quick action of Senators Chuck Grassley, Joni Ernst, Representative Ashley Hinson, and numerous other congressional champions who worked to ensure that EPA’s relief measures for small refineries do not come at the expense of America’s biofuel producers and farmers.”   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from DTN Progressive Farmer: National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower said corn growers were "disheartened" by the number of SREs granted.

"We are thankful that the Trump administration is taking action to offset this development by pledging to reallocate these RINs," Bower said in a statement. "Reallocation is essential for protecting farmers, biofuel producers and consumers alike."

The American Soybean Association said on Monday that it was thankful for the plan to reallocate the gallons waived.

"We appreciate the administration's commitment to reallocating 100% of these additional exemptions and their intention to enter into supplemental rulemaking soon, but timing is critical," said Dave Walton, ASA vice president and Iowa soybean farmer.

"Any delay in reallocation risks undermining the domestic market demand that soybean farmers urgently need as we enter harvest season. EPA must move quickly to fully reallocate these RINs and ensure soybean farmers are held harmless."

Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor said the group had not changed its position that SREs should be granted only when refiners "prove disproportionate economic hardship."

"It's difficult to see how these refiners have met this threshold when they're simultaneously reporting sky-high and, in some cases, record-setting earnings," she said in a statement.

"We will work with EPA to fully account for lost biofuel gallons and make producers and farmers whole."

...

Devin Mogler, president and CEO of the National Oilseed Processors Association, said the exemptions had created uncertainty in the market.

"President Trump's strong RFS put American agriculture on a path toward greater certainty, investment and growth, and we appreciate the president and Congress stepping in to protect that progress," Mogler said.

"We remain disappointed by the sheer volume of these refinery exemptions and the uncertainty they have injected back into the market. But restoring waived gallons to the established RFS volumes is critical to sustaining domestic growth, creating stronger markets for American farmers and reducing our reliance on China."

PETROLEUM SRE OPPOSITION

The Trump administration continued forward with the proposal even after the American Petroleum Institute warned EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in a letter on Monday that granting a higher volume of SREs could be harmful to the market.  READ MORE

Excerpt from Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association: Association says it will harm farmers and significantly reduce demand for biofuels

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made an announcement that they are significantly expanding the number of small-refinery exemptions for 2025 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requirements. The Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association (MN Bio-Fuels) Executive Director Brian Werner released the following statement in response to the EPA’s decision:

"Today’s decision by the EPA is a setback for farmers, ethanol plants, and our ag economy. Exempting oil refiners from their blending obligations won’t lower gasoline prices. As we’ve seen in Minnesota with E15, blending more biofuel into our fuel supply lowers the price consumers pay at the pump.

We appreciate that the recently finalized Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) set the highest biofuel blending targets in history, and that’s why it is especially confusing to see the EPA backtrack today. We share the Administration’s desire to make fuel more affordable for American families and small businesses, but the way to do that is through expanding access to year-round E15 and maintaining strong RVOs. 

The announcement includes a statement of intent to propose reallocating 100 percent of the nearly 800 million gallons of lost biofuel demand approved in these exemptions back into the 2026 and 2027 RVOs. The EPA needs to follow through on that promise, or this announcement could undermine the economic viability of the biofuels industry."  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Iowa Renewable Fuels Association: IRFA Urges EPA to Account for Any Changes to 2026-2027 Refinery Exemptions

Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted 29 refinery exemptions (SREs) to Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) blending levels for the 2025 compliance year. T

...

“Every day that passes while these new refinery exemptions are final but the reallocation is hypothetical leaves renewable fuels producers and farmers in the lurch,” said Monte Shaw, Executive Director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. “The EPA must act expeditiously to propose and finalize a rule that reallocates 100 percent of the new refinery exemptions. Nearly a billion gallons of renewable fuels demand hangs in the balance.”

President Trump garnered much praise from the agriculture community in March by finalizing the most robust RFS blending levels in history for 2026 and 2027, called the Set 2 rule.

“Since President Trump put the RFS back on track in March, it has been doing exactly what it was supposed to – driving demand for biofuels,” stated Shaw. “In Iowa, we had biodiesel plants that were shuttered or running at very reduced rates. Today they are producing at full capacity, buying soybean oil from our farmers, and hiring back workers that had been let go. It is almost unimaginable to pull the rug out from under this success story by granting what we believe are unjustifiable refinery exemptions. Exemptions should be extremely rare and only granted when a refiner experiences economic hardship due to the RFS. That’s just not happening. While we are disappointed by the exemptions, a swift and full reallocation can preserve every gallon of renewable fuels demand under the RFS.”

The March RFS rule also prospectively reallocated projected refinery exemptions for 2026-2027, similar to the 2025 projections. While EPA has not announced its intentions, if the agency granted similar refinery exemptions in 2026 and 2027 as it did in 2025, an additional 1.6 billion gallons of renewable fuels demand would be in jeopardy.

“The EPA should also make clear the agency will take steps to protect the historic RFS blending levels finalized in March,” stated Shaw. “Reallocating the new 2025 exemptions is important, but so is preventing any backsliding on 2026-2027 blending levels. The market needs certainty. The record-breaking RFS levels don’t mean a thing if they are undermined through unjustified refinery exemptions. IRFA members urge EPA to commit to full reallocation of any 2026-2027 refinery exemptions in excess of the projections formalized in the Set 2 rule.”

Shaw concluded: “We want to thank the Iowa delegation and all the renewable fuel champions for speaking up loudly when exemption rumors first surfaced. While we may disagree with the exemptions, our united voices ensured that 100 percent reallocation was part of the decision. Now we’ll stand united to ensure 100 percent reallocation is expeditiously implemented.”

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association represents the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry and works to foster its growth. Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production with 42 ethanol refineries capable of producing over 5 billion gallons annually – including 34 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity – and 8 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce 408 million gallons annually.

Excerpt from Sustainable Advanced Biofuels Refiners: Biodiesel would have taken the brunt of the negative impact of this unexpected expansion of SREs. SABR represents stakeholders throughout the biodiesel value chain including soybean farmers and processors, biodiesel producers, glycerin refiners, and fuel distributors and retailers. Together, these industries support millions of American jobs and generate billions of dollars in domestic economic activity while supplying homegrown, renewable fuel to the nation’s diesel supply. Without the administration’s decision to address the additional exempted volumes as a result of the expanded SREs for compliance year 2025, those businesses and the investments they have made to meet national fuel needs would have been placed at risk.

The year 2025 was devastating for the biodiesel industry because of major federal energy and tax policy uncertainty. This uncertainty lasted through the first quarter of 2026, when the administration wisely signaled some hope for a recovery by issuing robust volumes under the RFS. Biodiesel producers immediately stepped up to meet those prescribed volumes by adding much-needed fuel to the domestic diesel supply at a time of global fuel shortages and price increases. That additional supply is making U.S. diesel prices lower than they otherwise would be.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Ethanol Producer Magazine: According to EPA’s SRE data dashboard, 8 SRE petitions remain pending, including four compliance year 2026 petitions and four compliance year 2027 petitions.

...

The American Coalition for Ethanol also expressed disappointment in the EPA’s action to approve SREs. “American farmers continue to struggle to make ends meet, while oil refineries are posting record profits,” said Brian Jennings, CEO of ACE. “In this context, it does not make sense to exempt any refiners from blending low-cost renewable fuels into their outrageously expensive petroleum products. Nevertheless, we appreciate that EPA is taking steps to reallocate the exempt volume to non-exempt refiners and look forward to seeing that promise fulfilled. Until reallocation is final and complete, every exempted gallon is an economic drain on rural America.

“The integrity of the RFS depends on ensuring volume obligations translate into real-world demand. Any gap between required volumes and actual blending undermines the program and creates uncertainty for ethanol producers, farmers and rural communities,” Jennings added. “ACE, along with others in the biofuel industry, has spent significant time defending the RFS and ensuring proper limits on SRE authority through federal circuit and Supreme Court decisions. Any effort to weaken the specific criteria dictated by the courts is troubling, and we will be monitoring any such efforts by DOE.

“SRE controversy has essentially hijacked efforts in the Senate to finally adopt legislation simply allowing retailers nationwide to sell low-cost E15 to their customers year-round. Given EPA’s actions today, we once again call on the Senate to work in a bipartisan way to get E15 legislation over the finish line this year.

“Finally, EPA has the authority to set volumes that require more than 15 billion gallons of conventional biofuels annually. We encourage EPA to seriously consider higher volumes in Set 3 to account for any negative impact from SRE gallons not being fully reallocated and for potential E15 increases.”    READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Biofuels Digest:  The seed got better. The fertilizer got better. The machinery got bigger, faster and astonishingly precise. Hybrids arrived, then biotechnology, GPS, variable-rate application and a century’s accumulation of knowledge about how to coax more corn out of the same Iowa dirt.

Today, Iowa corn yields can run north of 200 bushels an acre. American agriculture solved the problem of abundance. It never solved the problem that comes next.

Who buys the next bushel?

...

Year-round E15 offered the prospect of opening still more of America’s gasoline market to ethanol. For a farmer wondering where the next increment of corn demand might come from, Washington appeared, for once, to be pointing in a promising direction.

Except permanent year-round E15 still isn’t settled.

And now come the small-refinery exemptions.

On Monday, EPA ruled on 34 petitions covering the 2025 Renewable Fuel Standard.

Eighteen refineries received full exemptions.

...

Add it together and 1.76 billion RINs of renewable-fuel obligations were excused.

...

If Washington promises you a market on Monday and exempts somebody from it on Tuesday, exactly how much market do you have on Wednesday?

...

Think of a Renewable Identification Number, or RIN, as essentially the receipt attached to renewable fuel.

Make qualifying renewable fuel and RINs are generated. Refiners and importers have annual obligations requiring them to acquire and retire enough of those receipts. Blend renewable fuel and you can acquire them that way. Don’t have enough and you can buy RINs on the market.

Congress also provided an escape hatch for small refineries suffering “disproportionate economic hardship.”

Fair enough.

If a genuinely struggling refinery is being pushed toward the wall by a federal mandate, nobody gains much by pushing it through the wall.

The difficulty is what happens to renewable-fuel demand when the refinery gets out.

An SRE says, in effect:

You don’t have to collect these receipts.

Reallocation says:

Fine. Put the volume back into the system and spread the requirement across the obligated parties.

Translated into Page County English:

The small refinery gets out. The gallons don’t.

...

When EPA established its renewable-fuel requirements, it wasn’t naïve enough to assume that no small refinery would receive an exemption.

EPA had already projected 990 million RINs worth of 2025 small-refinery exemptions and accounted for them in setting the volumes.

Call that the hole Washington knew about.

Then Monday arrived.

The exemptions EPA actually granted totaled 1.76 billion RINs.

Call that the hole Washington actually dug.

Subtract one from the other and you get roughly 770 million RINs of unexpected exemptions.

And that distinction matters.

...

You cannot repair a hole in the diesel market by pouring ethanol into it.

And today the implications run far beyond biodiesel.

Renewable diesel is pulling on oils and fats. Sustainable Aviation Fuel increasingly reaches into overlapping agricultural and low-carbon feedstock systems. Soybean oil, animal fats, used cooking oils and other feedstocks now participate in an interconnected industrial market.

So an exemption isn’t merely an argument between a little refinery and a corn ethanol plant.

...

And eventually the investment committee deciding whether the next plant gets built.

That’s the larger importance of reallocation.

The RFS isn’t simply setting today’s fuel volumes anymore.

It is helping send tomorrow’s capital signals.

...

The statute provides exemptions for small refineries suffering disproportionate economic hardship.

Biofuel organizations understandably ask how widespread hardship can coexist with strong refining profitability.

They also question how much RIN compliance actually costs a refinery after costs are passed through in petroleum-product prices.

...

Then an exemption can arrive after the market has already organized itself around the mandate.

The industry’s phrase for what follows is demand destruction.

It sounds abstract.

It isn’t.

It means somebody invested, planted, produced or financed something expecting a customer that government policy said would exist — and government policy subsequently made some of that customer disappear.

...

A small refinery can face legitimate hardship.

Congress provided relief for exactly that reason.

But the Renewable Fuel Standard was created to establish renewable-fuel demand, not merely to distribute paperwork among refiners.

If one party is exempted, account for the volume elsewhere.

Don’t erase it.

Because the consequences no longer stop at the ethanol plant.

...

EPA still has to finish the job.

It says it will propose the additional reallocation before the end of October.

Until that becomes enforceable arithmetic, the unexpected missing demand remains principally a promise that Washington intends to restore it.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Bloomberg/Yahoo! Finance: (U.S. President Donald) Trump got an earful about federal biofuel-blending requirements, as some refining executives used the hour-long meeting (on September 1, 2026) to argue that quotas compelling them to mix alternative fuels into gasoline are raising pump prices, according to people familiar with the conversation who asked not to be named because it was private.

Roughly a dozen executives from fuel refining and distribution companies joined Trump....

...

The gathering was dominated by talk about the Renewable Fuel Standard, the federal law that compels refiners to blend corn-based ethanol, soy-based biodiesel and other alternative fuels into gasoline and diesel, people said. Industry representatives took aim at the administration's decision to set record-high biofuel-blending quotas, with some casting the targets as unattainable and describing them as driving up gasoline costs, some of the people said.

Tensions on the issue were heightened after Trump's Environmental Protection Agency on Monday granted a host of small refineries exemptions from some of those mandates. At the same time, in a blow to the owners of large refineries, the administration also said it would seek to ensure other, non-exempted facilities are on the hook to blend those waived volumes in their stead.

Renewable fuel quotas are a particularly thorny subject for Trump, dividing the agriculture and oil industries, two key constituencies. Administration officials on Tuesday acknowledged the political dynamic in suggesting their hands were tied on the issue, some of the people said.

...

While gasoline prices have fallen from this year's peak of more than $4.50 a gallon in May, they remain about $1 higher than at the Feb. 28 start of the war — much less the $2.79 low Trump notched in January. Trump says prices will eventually ease and that Americans understand his stated aim of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. READ MORE

 

Excerpt from The Fence Post: National Farmers Union President Rob Larew said, “We appreciate the administration’s decision to fully reallocate the renewable identification numbers affected by these exemptions, protecting a stable market for family farmers.”

“Farmers spoke out about the harm they’d face without full reallocation, and we appreciate EPA listening to those concerns. The uncertainty around potential changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard has not been helpful at a time when farm country needs predictability,” Larew said. “We’re glad to see the integrity of the program upheld and continued demand for what our farmers grow.”

Last week the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Intel service published a report explaining small refinery exemptions. 

“Farm Bureau opposes small refinery exemptions, but if exemptions are granted, the associated RFS obligations should be reallocated to preserve overall renewable fuel demand the RFS was designed to support,” the report said.

Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall said Monday, “While we have concerns about granting any small refinery exemptions that undercut a strong domestic biofuels market for farmers, we are pleased to see EPA’s commitment toward 100% reallocation of exempted volumes before the end of October. Reallocation is necessary to maintain robust demand for American grown crops.”

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., the ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee who is running for governor of Minnesota, said, “Farmers are already facing the headwinds of the president’s tariffs, rising input costs from the war in Iran, and dwindling international markets, and now the administration is choosing to damage another critical market for American farmers.”
