The finalized rule increases the use of homegrown biofuels.
President Donald Trump announced the updated Renewable Fuel Standard “Set 2“ final rule at the White House Great American Agriculture Celebration.
The White House stated, “The final rule realigns the program with Congress’ original intent—increasing the use of homegrown American biofuels—putting American farmers first and promoting American energy independence.“
“Overall, ‘Set 2’ creates a larger, more stable, and more reliable domestic market for U.S. crops, strengthening farm income and rural economies,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. “For 20 years, this program has diversified our nation’s energy supply and advanced American energy independence. EPA is proud to deliver on this mission and to do so at historic levels.”
“These numbers represent the highest levels of biofuels ever required to be blended into our fuel supply,” said Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. “These historically high volumes are expected to create a $3 to $4 billion dollar increase in net farm income. The Renewable Fuel Standard Set 2 Rule will create a $31 billion dollar value for American corn and soybean oil for biofuel production in 2026, which is $2 billion more than in 2025. Our farmers are stepping up to grow American energy dominance.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump and administration officials as they seek to strengthen the farm and rural community economies.
- For Administration Zeldin to be discerning as he heads the EPA and sets environmental policy.
- For Secretary Rollins to be prudent in her management of the USDA and its many agencies.
