The Trump Administration's New Biofuels Targets Threaten Carbon-Rich Rainforests President Donald Trump stood on the Truman Balcony at the White House during the “Great American Agriculture Celebration” last week and announced what he called a “historic” boost to the nation’s farmers. The Environmental Protection Agency, Trump said, would require the highest-ever volume of crop-based biofuels to be blended into the nation’s gasoline supply, a move the administration promises will bring jobs and cashflow to an agriculture industry feeling the twin punches of the president’s tariffs and higher fertilizer prices linked to the war in Iran. Trump called himself a “true friend and champion” of the country’s farmers, a key political constituency that he is again actively and festively courting. But some analysts and researchers say the administration’s plan has a critical flaw: The U.S. doesn’t produce enough vegetable oil to satisfy the demands of the new blending targets. That means it will have to import more foreign vegetable oil, which will imperil climate-critical tropical forests thousands of miles away as they’re cleared to grow more oil crops. Beyond these negative climate impacts, the new targets will actually drive diesel prices higher, by 30 cents per gallon this year and 36 cents per gallon in 2027, according to the EPA...

Trump Administration Boosts Biofuels in Effort to Ease Farmer Woes Speaking at a White House event celebrating farmers, Trump announced a final rule raising the minimum amount of renewable fuels that must be blended into the U.S. fuel supply. Biofuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and renewable diesel are largely made with corn and soybean oil, meaning this rule could boost demand for those crops. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the rule under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The final rule sets Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) significantly higher than the previous amount, released under the Biden administration, and slightly higher than previously proposed levels. Biodiesel and renewable diesel production and use is expected to increase by 60 percent with the latest RVOs in comparison to the previous limits, according to the EPA. Under the rule, fuel made with foreign feedstocks or foreign-made fuel will have less compliance value than domestic fuels starting in 2028. In a press release, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the volumes are expected to create a $3 billion to $4 billion increase in net farm income. “At a time of significant economic pressure across agriculture, policies that strengthen domestic demand are more important than ever,” Rob Larew, president of the National Farmers Union, said in a statement...

Federal Water Tap, March 30, 2026: EPA Increases Biofuels Mandate, Expects Soil and Water Pollution Harm Too EPA’s new biofuels mandate, the highest yet, is likely to put more pressure on soil and waters. Without saying climate change, the USFS revises the definition of a ski area that operates on federal lands to allow for more non-ski activities. GAO testifies on ways to reduce federal exposure to the financial risk of flooding. EPA loan program will support a project to bring Lake Michigan water to Illinois communities with unsustainable groundwater use. An Interior Department watchdog’s audit finds that three of four federally-funded projects to place solar panels above irrigation canals are not proceeding due to the administration’s priorities. Water bills introduced or passed in Congress include data center water use, non-flushable wipes, and a Glen Canyon Dam modification. EPA’s internal watchdog assesses wildfire and inland flood risk for federal Superfund sites. EPA asks for public comment on water utility financial assessments. And lastly, senators from opposite sides of the political spectrum ask for data center energy reporting requirements. By the Numbers $610 Million: Loan announced for a project to bring Lake Michigan water to six communities in northern Illinois that rely on a shrinking aquifer. The loan to the Grand Prairie Water Commission is from the EPA’s...

California Should Prioritize Electric Vehicle Incentives, Not Biofuel Subsidies On March 13, the Department of Energy used the expanding U.S. war in Iran as an excuse to override California’s environmental laws and force resumption of oil production along the Santa Barbara coast. Over the strong objections of state and local officials, crude oil is now flowing through a pipeline that ruptured in 2015, fouling beaches and causing millions of dollars of environmental damage. The new order commanding the that the pipeline be reopened is the Trump Administration’s boldest move yet to operationalize Executive Order 14260, which unabashedly seeks to crush state climate and renewable energy policies in favor of fossil fuel production. This latest development makes it clearer than ever that California should redouble its efforts to electrify the state’s transportation sector. A potential path forward is to redirect subsidies that currently flow to biofuel producers and methane digesters under the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Repurposing these LCFS credits to provide tax incentives for EV purchase and infrastructure expansion could help California achieve its looming zero-emission vehicle targets. Equally important, a decarbonized vehicle fleet would help protect Californians from the kind of global oil shock we are experiencing today and from the human health and ecological harms associated...

Energy security in a world of wars: Why biofuels matter more than ever The escalating conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States in West Asia has once again forced the world to confront a hard truth — energy security is inseparable from national and global security. What began as a prolonged cycle of retaliatory strikes, proxy warfare, and nuclear tensions crystallised into a direct military confrontation that sent shockwaves far beyond the region’s borders. The implications for global energy markets were immediate and severe. West Asia accounts for roughly one-third of the world’s crude oil production and an even larger share of global oil trade flows. With military activity intensifying near critical maritime chokepoints, the world’s most strategically vital waterway came under direct threat. The Strait of Hormuz — a narrow channel between Iran and Oman — is the passage through which approximately 20-21 million barrels of oil transit every single day, representing nearly 20 per cent of global oil consumption. Even partial disruptions to shipping lanes caused war-risk insurance premiums on oil tankers to spike dramatically, prompting major shipping companies to reroute or suspend Gulf operations and triggering panic buying across energy markets. The damage extended well beyond the Strait itself. In early March 2026, Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura refinery —...

Biofuel makers say they can boost Washington's climate goals and farmers Biofuel makers are trying to impress upon the Washington Department of Ecology how their products can help the state meet its climate goals and, in some cases, benefit farmers. Bayer Crop Science, ethanol giant POET and Neste are among the companies weighing in as the state raises its low-carbon fuel standard. Bayer touts oilseeds as feedstock for low-carbon fuels. POET promotes corn ethanol as reliable. Finnish company Neste, the world’s largest producer of renewable diesel, says its goal is to supply products to achieve Washington’s climate aspirations. “We are in the business of combating climate change by producing effective climate solutions,” the company said in recent comments to Ecology. Washington lawmakers adopted the low-carbon fuel standard to reduce greenhouse gases released in producing transportation fuels. Originally, lawmakers mandated a 20% reduction by 2038. Last year, they moved the goal to 45%. The higher bar presumably will increase demand for biofuels. The program is still in its early days, requiring only a 7% reduction this year in carbon emissions. In 2024, the standard cut emissions by 2.8 million tons and added less than a penny to the cost of fuel, according to Ecology. The department has not studied how ramping up...
