Vasu-Tripathi asks:

What will the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) propose as the renewable volume obligation (RVO) for biomass-based diesel fuel in 2026?

Biofuel market participants are lobbying the EPA to increase the biomass-based diesel RVO for 2026 to a "robust" level that would support industry growth (Biodiesel Magazine, Biomass Magazine). The EPA reportedly plans on publishing a proposed rule by March 2025 (PA Petroleum Organization). On 12 July 2023, the EPA published a final rule establishing various biofuel volume requirements for 2023 through 2025 pursuant to the Clean Air Act (Federal Register, see Table I.A.1-1, EPA, Energy Information Administration). The question will close upon a proposed rule being published by the EPA in the Federal Register (Federal Register - EPA).
