For North Dakota farmer and Clean Fuels Governing Board member Ryan Pederson, biodiesel is more than a clean fuel. It’s driving rural resilience.

Creating domestic markets for oil and other homegrown feedstocks, keeps more value in farming communities by supporting rural jobs and helping farmers like Ryan power their operations with fuel made from the crops they grow.

“Years ago, we used to say we were feeding the world. Today, we’re helping fuel it, too.”

Energy security isn’t just a talking point right now. It’s personal for every American feeling higher costs at the pump, the grocery store and across the supply chain.

As global oil markets face renewed disruption, one thing is clear, America is stronger when we produce more of our own fuel here at home. and are already helping meet that challenge, with enough domestic production capacity to supply 10% of U.S. diesel demand.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s final volumes for 2026 and 2027 recognize something our industry has said for years: maximizing U.S. renewable fuel production strengthens energy security, supports rural economies and reduces our dependence on foreign oil.

Clean Fuels CEO Donnell Rehagen says this is more than fuel policy. It’s an economic strategy that benefits consumers, farmers, fuel producers and the broader U.S. economy.

Read why our industry’s contribution to U.S. fuel supplies is crucial to America’s energy dominance:

As Americans head into summer travel season amid rising fuel prices and renewed instability in global oil markets, biodiesel and renewable diesel are proving essential to America’s energy security.
