WASHINGTON, DC – Michael McAdams, President of the Advanced Biofuels Association (ABFA), issued the following statement in response to President Trump signing “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law.

“We are disappointed that the final reconciliation bill restricted foreign feedstocks under 45Z. We will continue to advocate for both domestic and international feedstocks to ensure advanced biofuel refineries and biorefineries have the resources they need to maximize production and contribute to America’s energy dominance agenda.

“We turn our attention now to the EPA’s work developing its final RVOs for 2026 and 2027. The proposed rule currently calls for a 50% reduction in RIN value for fuels made with foreign feedstocks, which will only hurt American biorefineries and their workers. We urge the EPA to reconsider this current restriction and support American advanced biofuel production.”
