Summary

Designation of May 2025 as Renewable Fuels Month would formally recognize and promote ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel as tools to cut carbon emissions and support rural economies. The resolution cites 2024 data that ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 44 to 52 percent versus gasoline and helped supply the equivalent of nearly 630 million barrels of imported crude oil equivalent. It notes ethanol supported about 55,810 direct jobs and 258,089 indirect and induced jobs while generating roughly $28.3 billion in household income and over $53 billion in GDP, and that biodiesel and renewable diesel contributed about $42.4 billion in economic impact, supported 107,400 jobs, and paid roughly $5.8 billion in wages.
