Six trade associations urge Trump to bolster biodiesel and renewble diesel in light of energy insecurity
In Washington, six trade associations wrote a letter to President Trump urging him to unleash U.S. biodiesel and renewable diesel production to bolster America’s energy security during the conflict with Iran. The disruption in the global oil market is constraining diesel fuel supplies, which threatens to raise the cost of all U.S. consumer goods and further harm the U.S. agriculture sector as farmers start this season’s planting. Immediately finalizing the 2026 and 2027 Renewable Fuel Standards would encourage the U.S. clean fuel industry to quickly ramp up enough production capacity to meet 3% of the nation’s demand for diesel, the groups write.
The letter to President Trump is signed by Clean Fuels Alliance America, the American Soybean Association, National Energy & Fuels Institute (NEFI), National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA), North American Renderers Association (NARA), and U.S. Canola Association, representing the full biomass-based diesel value chain – farmers, feedstock providers, clean fuel producers, and customers.
