EPA proposed requiring refiners to blend 24.02 billion gallons of biofuels into the fuel supply in 2026 and 24.46 billion gallons in 2027.
The corn-based ethanol mandate would remain at 15 billion gallons for both years.
The biomass-based diesel (BBD) mandate would jump to 7.12 billion RINs in 2026 and 7.50 billion RINs in 2027. Note: EPA is proposing expressing BBD in RINs instead of gallons. EPA projects BBD RINs at 1.27 per gallon for 2026 and 1.28 for 2027.
There would be reduced credits generated for imported renewable fuel and foreign feedstocks.
Renewable electricity (e-RINs) would no longer qualify.
