Investivoq AI Summary
Lawmakers urge action on biofuels: U.S. Reps. Adrian Smith and Nikki Budzinski led a bipartisan letter, joined by 37 other members, asking EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Energy Secretary Chris Wright to keep federal commitments to the U.S. biofuel industry.
Letter cites market certainty: The lawmakers asked for a supplemental rule by Oct. 15 to keep 2026 and 2027 Renewable Fuel Standard volumes in line with “Set 2” projections. They said delays and small refinery exemptions could reduce certainty for farmers, producers, and consumers.
Claims in the letter: The release says the signers argued biofuels support rural jobs and lower fuel costs, citing estimates that E15 is about 30 cents per gallon cheaper than E10 and B20 biodiesel about 11 cents cheaper than regular diesel.
