Bipartisan group of senators urge EPA to raise RVO for biomass- and advanced biofuels

In Washington, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) are leading a bipartisan group of 16 senators in urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restore integrity, stability and growth to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the U.S. biofuel sector by raising Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) levels for biomass-based diesel and advanced biofuels. The Biden-era EPA set RVOs at levels that fail to align with market conditions and production outlook, which has contributed to biodiesel plant closures in the Midwest, they said.
