## Summary

**Designating May 2026 as Renewable Fuels Month** would formally recognize the economic and environmental role of ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel in the U.S. energy mix. The resolution cites that in 2025 ethanol supported about 79,000 direct jobs and 237,000 indirect jobs, produced $28 billion in household income and nearly $50 billion in GDP, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 44 to 52 percent versus gasoline. It also notes biodiesel and renewable diesel had a $42.4 billion economic impact in 2024, supported 107,400 jobs, cut emissions by at least 50 percent versus petroleum diesel, and lowered particulate matter by up to 80 percent. The measure highlights that biofuels add to domestic fuel supply, help rural economies, can reduce pump prices, and that sustainable aviation fuel works with existing jet fuel systems.
