Montana Renewables CEO Calls for Doubling in Plant-Diesel Quotas

The US needs to roughly double its quotas for biomass-based diesel to help support the industry and sustain momentum for investments in green jet fuel, according to Montana Renewables Chief Executive Officer Bruce Fleming.

The Biden administration set quotas for bio and renewable diesel, generally made from soybean oil and other fats, at just over 3 billion gallons for blending into US fuels for 2025. Now, as the Trump administration is set to review the policy for the next several years, Fleming and others in the industry are calling for higher quotas based on production capacity.
