EPA Lowers Biofuel Goals: Not Enough Green Juice in 2024
Published Date: 7/7/2025
Rule
Summary
The EPA is lowering the 2024 goal for cellulosic biofuel because there isn’t enough being made. This change helps fuel producers meet realistic targets and keeps the Renewable Fuel Standard fair. It also tweaks some rules about biogas to keep things running smoothly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
2024 Cellulosic Volume Partial Waiver
The EPA is partially waiving the 2024 cellulosic biofuel volume requirement and is revising the related percentage standard under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program because production fell short. If you produce or blend transportation fuel, this change reduces the 2024 cellulosic volumes you must meet under the RFS program.
Minor Biogas Provision Revision
The EPA is making a minor revision to the biogas provisions of the RFS program. If you produce biogas for use as an RFS-qualified fuel, this revision changes how the biogas rules apply under the RFS program starting with the action described.
