Today, on , we’re celebrating the individuals and families whose hard work and investment helped build the biobased diesel industry.

Soybean farmers have played a central role—growing a valuable source of oil for biodiesel and renewable diesel, and investing checkoff dollars that helped develop these fuels.

Biobased diesel also makes use of other agricultural resources, including corn oil recovered from ethanol production and animal fats from food processing.

From the field to the fuel tank, farmers and agricultural communities have helped create markets that support American agriculture and produce lower-carbon fuels.

Thank you for your commitment, ingenuity, and the long hours you put in every day!

Record biofuel production means more than just a big number!

In June, U.S. biobased diesel producers generated a record 494 million gallons of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel qualifying under the USEPA-administered Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).

For farmers, that matters because soybean oil is one of the feedstocks used to make these low-carbon fuels. More demand for soybean oil means greater demand for domestic soybean crush and more competition for farmers’ crops.

While the RFS sets renewable fuel requirements for suppliers, several federal programs help shape the market.

The Clean Fuel Production Credit (45Z) provides a tax credit for eligible lower-emission fuels produced in the United States, while the Small Agri-Biodiesel Producer Credit (40A) offers an additional credit to qualifying small biodiesel producers on up to 15 million gallons of eligible production. Together, these credits support increased production and can ultimately help lower the cost of the finished fuel.

While industry estimates show that biobased diesel fuels already support around 10% of the price of a bushel of soybeans, the local impact for farmers can be even greater. Research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found that new soybean crush plants raised soybean basis by about 9.6 cents per bushel on average within 50 miles.

While weather, exports, crop size, and many other factors shape soybean prices, domestic biofuel demand can support more processing and give farmers another potential buyer closer to home.

That's a win for domestic energy production and rural America!

It’s another manic Monday—but not every decision has to be!

Lowering emissions is easy with biodiesel and renewable diesel. These domestically produced, low-carbon fuels are already helping public and private fleets, vessel operators, data centers, mining and construction companies, and countless others make an immediate difference.

They’re available today, can be used with existing diesel vehicles, equipment, and fueling infrastructure, and can significantly reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and engine-out pollutants compared with petroleum diesel.

Whether starting with B20, exploring higher biodiesel blends, or choosing renewable diesel, fuel buyers have options to reduce their carbon footprints while continuing to rely on the equipment they already know and trust.

Cleaner air doesn’t always require waiting for new technology to become available or affordable. Sometimes, it begins with simply choosing a better fuel!

Join the Great Lakes Alliance for Sustainable Shipping (GLASS) and the Michigan Advanced Biofuels Coalition (MiABC) for a Biodiesel in Michigan virtual roundtable on October 29 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.

We’ll have a facilitated discussion about the challenges and opportunities for biodiesel in Michigan, so come prepared! We want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.

What does it take to get sustainable aviation fuel from a field to a flight? A whole lot of teamwork!

The Minnesota SAF Hub is bringing farmers, fuel producers, refiners, airlines, and other partners together to build that supply chain. One recent milestone: a new blending facility at Flint Hills Resources’ Pine Bend Refinery can blend up to 30 million gallons of neat SAF a year and send it through existing pipelines to Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (MSP). Delta has set a goal of using SAF for 10% of its fuel by 2030.

Michigan is part of the story, too. In 2024, SAF traveled by pipeline to both MSP and Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), with Delta covering the fuel cost for its flights at both airports.

Michigan lawmakers have also advanced proposals for incentives to support SAF production and blending.

That’s the exciting part: SAF’s journey involves more than what goes into the tank. It takes feedstocks, production, refining, blending, pipelines, airport access—and buyers willing to help get the fuel off the ground.

The more partners come aboard, the more opportunity there is to build a reliable SAF market and watch demand take flight!

Did you miss our Biodiesel & the Great Lakes webinar with Green Marine? That’s okay—we missed . 🤦

That's why this we're giving a huge shoutout to the mariners, dock workers, fuel providers, and everyone in between who keep our waterways moving.

We especially want to thank leaders like Middle River Marine and Canada Steamship Lines Inc., a division of the CSL Group Inc for using biodiesel in marine vessels, helping reduce emissions and boost North America's energy security and resilience.

We also want to recognize fuel providers like Warner Petroleum Corporation and Canada Clean Fuels Inc. that supply blends up to B100 from BQ-9000 producers like W2Fuel, Chevron, Thumb BioEnergy, and more!

While we may have missed World Maritime Day, and you may have missed our webinar, the good news is that the webinar recording is available on our website, and we can celebrate the maritime industry all year long!

Catch the conversation about real-world experience, technical insights, and fueling solutions for biodiesel on the Great Lakes. Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gtAAYjyR

During Driver Appreciation Week, we’re proud to recognize the professional drivers who keep our communities connected and our economy moving.

Special kudos to the drivers going the extra mile for cleaner air by operating vehicles powered by lower-carbon biodiesel and renewable diesel. Every gallon and every mile demonstrates that meaningful emission reductions are possible today—without slowing down the essential work drivers perform.

Thank you for your skill, dedication, and commitment to moving us toward a cleaner, healthier future.
