WASHINGTON, DC – Michael McAdams, President of the Advanced Biofuels Association (ABFA), issued the following statement in response to the EPA’s proposed 2026 and 2027 RFS volumes. 

“We thank the EPA for its work in preparing the proposed Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for 2026 and 2027 and applaud them for aligning volume targets with actual feedstock availability. 

 “The EPA’s initial proposal correctly recognizes that global feedstock supply and U.S. production capacity are more than sufficient to support a robust RVO, including at least 7.12 billion RINs of biomass-based diesel in 2026 (5.61 billion gallons) and 7.50 (5.86 billion gallons) in 2027. Strong RVOs are essential to diversifying the nation’s fuel supply, supporting rural economic development, lowering costs for consumers and businesses, and reinforcing America’s competitive edge in energy innovation. This proposal makes clear that the EPA understands the critical role advanced biofuels can play in their broader energy dominance strategy, and our industry is elated at this development.”
