In Illinois, the Illinois Soybean Association stated that Senate Bill 41 has been introduced in Illinois that would seek to create a a Low Carbon Fuel Standard, or LCFS.
“Illinois Soybean Growers (ISG) has been lobbying and advocating to ensure this legislation does not have a harmful impact on our in-state market for biodiesel that uses over 300 million gallons of B100 annually. The oil from more than 100 million bushels of soybeans is used to make that fuel. There are many actors at the table in support of this legislation who are looking to provide better outcomes for agriculture than are found under the California program,” the association said.
“Our organization believes firmly in the current state policy that encourages blending to increase from B11 to B20 by April 2026. That trajectory for usage of biodiesel is in the best interest of our farmers, our economy and the people of the State of Illinois. In the coming months, we will continue to educate and engage farmers across the state to stand up and oppose this harmful legislation,” the entity added.
