U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts from Nebraska has responded to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) recent issuance of a Renewable Fuels Standard rulemaking, which details the Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for the years 2026 and 2027.
In his statement, Senator Ricketts highlighted the commitment of President Trump and EPA Administrator Zeldin to support American energy initiatives through adherence to the Renewable Fuels Standard. "President Trump and Administrator Zeldin have held true to their promises to unleash American energy and to implement the Renewable Fuels Standard consistent with the law," Ricketts stated.
He further emphasized the significance of this development for various sectors: "Today’s Renewable Volume Obligation rulemaking marks an important day for biofuels, American farmers, and Nebraska agriculture. Strong targets drive strong biofuel markets which benefits energy consumers, agricultural producers, and the environment."
The rulemaking is seen as a positive step towards bolstering biofuel markets, which play a crucial role in supporting not only energy consumers but also agricultural producers and environmental efforts.
