Agri-pulseUS trade war with Canada and beyond triggers biofuel worriesThe U.S. trade war with Canada is prompting biofuel producers to worry about imported used cooking oil and potential tariffs on feedstocks. Clean Fuels America Alliance and Scoular Inc. are alerting to risks that foreign producers could undercut domestic feedstock providers. EPA is also under scrutiny over blending mandates, with rules for after 2027 proposed.Agri-pulseUS trade war with Canada and beyond triggers biofuel worriesThe U.S. trade war with Canada is prompting biofuel industry groups to watch for tariffs on feedstocks, which could let foreign producers undercut domestic producers. Scoular and Clean Fuels America Alliance are alert to transshipment risks, while farmers face doubled diesel costs. EPA blending rules for after 2027 are pending.ProducerBiofuel expert says U.S. falling well short of expected canola oil useThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set a target of 1.3 billion gallons of canola-based biodiesel and renewable diesel for 2026, a fourfold increase from 318 million gallons in 2025, but producers are off to a slow start with only 355,000 tonnes of canola oil used in the first quarter of 2026. A new analysis from Clean Fuels Alliance America indicates building momentum in the sector, with domestic production reaching capacity utilization rates not seen since 2024. A biofuel expert from T. Bjornson and Associates confirmed that Canadian canola qualifies for the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit, which is positive news for the Canadian canola industry.Agri-pulsePet food makers sound price alarm over biofuel boostThe Environmental Protection Agency set record-high 2026-27 blending quotas for biomass-based diesel, driving up demand for animal fats that are also essential ingredients in pet food. This competition has caused chicken fat prices to surge more than 40% since January, with pet food and treats prices rising 25% since 2021, threatening supply chains for the pet food industry. The Pet Food Institute is lobbying against the rules while Clean Fuels Alliance America defends biofuels, arguing increased soybean crushing for fuel production creates more animal feed, tempering overall food costs.BiodieselmagazineClean Fuels urges EPA to finalize 2026-27 RFS rule and reallocate all SREsClean Fuels Alliance America urged the EPA on November 7 to finalize the overdue Renewable Fuel Standard rule for 2026 and 2027 and to fully reallocate all small refinery exemptions. The organization warned that failure to reallocate could result in significant demand losses for biomass-based diesel and financial losses for farmers. They emphasized the need for the EPA to complete these actions before the end of the year to ensure compliance with the RFS volumes.BrownfieldagnewsClean Fuels Alliance urges EPA to reallocate waived RFS volumes or lose billions for soy industryClean Fuels Alliance America is urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reallocate waived Renewable Fuel Standard volumes, warning that failure to do so could cost soybean farmers and processors up to $7.5 billion over two years. The EPA is currently accepting public comments through October 31 regarding the reallocation of these exempted gallons for the 2026–2027 period.CleanfuelsClean Fuels Health Benefits StudyClean Fuels Alliance America commissioned a study by Trinity Consultants which found that switching to 100% biodiesel in 45 communities could prevent over 1,100 premature deaths annually and reduce healthcare costs by $9.6 billion. The research indicates significant air quality improvements, including a 45% reduction in cancer risk for heavy-duty trucks using B100 fuel. These findings highlight the health benefits of clean fuels, particularly in underserved environmental justice communities.CleanfuelsClean Fuels Alliance AmericaClean Fuels Alliance America engages with U.S. policymakers to expand the production and market availability of biodiesel and renewable diesel. The organization actively seeks funding for USDA and Farm Bill programs designed to advance the clean fuels market. These initiatives, including specific Bioenergy and Infrastructure Incentive Programs, are cited as successful in expanding consumer access to affordable clean fuels.CleanfuelsClean Fuels Launches Redesigned BQ-9000 Website to Highlight Biodiesel Quality AssuranceClean Fuels Alliance America has launched a redesigned BQ-9000 website to streamline access to biodiesel quality assurance accreditation and certification resources. The platform provides stakeholders with a searchable directory of accredited companies, downloadable certificates, and information on how the program supports engine performance and warranty compliance.CleanfuelsClean Fuels Alliance AmericaClean Fuels Alliance America is a trade organization promoting the benefits of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel.
