WASHINGTON – Friday, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) volume requirements for 2026 and 2027:
“The EPA’s newly proposed rule rightly recognizes the vital role America’s farmers and biofuel producers play in strengthening our energy independence. Setting the conventional volume for fuels like ethanol at 15 billion gallons and boosting biomass-based diesel well above expectations is a strong win for Nebraska and the rest of rural America.
“I thank the administration for their continued commitment to agriculture and biofuels – their leadership supports Nebraska’s corn, soybean, and biofuel industries. I look forward to working with them to ensure these promising proposals are finalized and fully implemented.”
