US oil, biofuel groups unite to urge new Trump EPA to boost biofuel mandates
US oil and biofuel groups have joined forces to urge the new Trump administration to increase volumes of renewable fuels that must be blended into the nation's fuel mix in 2026 and beyond. The move is a surprise given the historic rivalry between the two industries, but they share concerns about electric vehicles threatening liquid fuel markets. A unified front on this issue could signal a shift in the balance of power between oil and biofuel interests.
- This unexpected collaboration highlights the growing need for cooperation among industry stakeholders to address common challenges posed by emerging technologies like electric vehicles.
- How will the EPA's response to these pressure from the oil and biofuel groups influence its overall approach to regulating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change?
