Dec 30, 2024 | Biodiesel, News, News Release, Renewable Diesel, State Affairs, Technical

The U.S. is on pace to surpass 5 billion gallons of biodiesel and renewable diesel consumption for the first time, capping a 2024 that saw increased efforts from states to drive adoption, updates to technical standards, growth in soybean crush capacity and growing public support for clean transportation fuel.
Clean Fuels Alliance America CEO Donnell Rehagen said a strong 2024 has set the industry up well for further growth in aviation, marine, rail and heavy-duty transportation use.
“Consumers and corporations are demanding more clean fuel, and they are increasingly turning to biodiesel and renewable diesel to meet those demands,” Rehagen said. “Our industry has become a central force in the global effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions.”

US Biofuel Industry Celebrates 20th Anniversary Of The RFS

The U.S. renewable fuels industry on Aug. 8 celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard. Federal lawmakers also marked the occasion with resolutions introduced in the House and Senate earlier this month.
The RFS was first established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which was signed by President George W. Bush on Aug. 8, 2005. The program was later expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, also signed by Bush on Dec. 19, 2007.
Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., and Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, on Aug. 1 introduced resolutions commemorating the success of the RFS. The resolutions honor the RFS “as a milestone in America’s commitment to strengthening energy security, supporting rural communities, growing the economy, and improving environmental performance.” It further “recognizes the positive impacts of the RFS on United States energy policy, the agricultural sector, and the environment over the past 2 decades.”
The Renewable Fuels Association recently published a report highlighting the positive impacts of the RFS, noting the program has lowered gas prices, enhanced domestic energy security, supported the farm economy and helped the air and environment. “Over the past two decades, the Renewable Fuel Standard has delivered tremendous benefits for our nation—reducing dependence on foreign oil, lowering fuel costs for consumers, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs across rural America, and strengthening the agricultural economy,” said Geoff Cooper, president and CEO of the RFS. “It has spurred market competition and expanded choices at the pump for drivers nationwide. We’re thrilled to see Congress commemorating this milestone with a strong bipartisan resolution, and we applaud Senator Pete Ricketts, Representative Max Miller, and the many lawmakers who joined in honoring one of the most successful and forward-looking energy policies in U.S. history.”

Trump Signs Bill Enacting 2-Year Extension Of 45Z Credit

President Donald Trump on July 4 signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The budget reconciliation package extends and updates the 45Z clean fuel production tax credit and revives a tax credit benefiting small biodiesel producers but repeals several other bioenergy-related tax incentives.
The bill, H.R. 1, has undergone numerous changes since it was first introduced in May, including those related to the extension and administration of 45Z.
The original 45Z tax credit, as established by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, provided a tax credit for the production and sale of low-emission transformation fuels. The credit started at 20 cents per gallon for non-aviation fuels and 35 cents per gallon for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). For facilities that satisfy the prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements, the value of the tax credit was up to $1 per gallon for non-aviation fuels and $1.75 per gallon for SAF. Under the IRA, the 45Z credit was available for 2025, 2026 and 2027. https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/trump-signs-bill-enacting-2-year-extension-of-45z-credit
