The clean fuels industry strengthened its foundation in 2025 behind record policy targets, new engine capabilities, and proven performance, setting expectations for continued growth in 2026.
“Government agencies, fleets, manufacturers, and consumers in 2025 recognized that biodiesel and renewable diesel have stepped forward and taken a leadership position in fueling our nation’s transportation systems,” said Clean Fuels Alliance America CEO Donnell Rehagen.
“Clean fuel use has grown dramatically in recent years, and for the first time, policymakers took full account of that growth.”
Last year, for the first time in the history of the Renewable Fuel Standard, the EPA proposed robust biomass-based diesel volumes that accurately reflected the industry’s potential. EPA proposed a renewable volume obligation of 5.61 billion gallons for 2026, and a growth path of annual volume increases for 2027 and beyond.
In doing so, EPA acknowledged the industry’s investments in production capacity and domestic feedstock supplies produced by U.S. farmers.
