TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO FINALIZE 2026 BIOFUEL QUOTAS BY MARCH The Trump administration is expected to finalize 2026 biofuel blending quotas by early March, largely sticking to its initial proposal while dropping a plan to penalize imports of renewable fuels and feedstocks, sources said. The move would balance demands from biofuel producers and oil refiners by maintaining higher blending targets while avoiding measures that could raise fuel costs. The EPA is considering bio-based diesel volumes of 5.2 to 5.6 billion gallons for 2026, near the originally proposed 5.61 billion gallons. Final approval is expected in the first quarter of 2026.(*Walter Bloomberg)
