US President Trump's administration is expected to finalise 2026 biofuel blending quotas by early March, according to sources

Newsquawk Staff ·

  • Administration is weighing a range of 5.2-5.6bln gallons for bio-based diesel volumes (exp. 6.6bln).
  • Expected to keep biofuel blending quotas roughly in line with current proposal. 
  • Expected to drop plan to penalise imports of renewable fuel and feedstocks. 

What it means

The expected finalization of the 2026 biofuel blending quotas indicates a continuation of current policy, potentially supporting domestic biofuel production. The omission of penalties on renewable fuel imports may signal a more lenient trade stance, which could affect related sectors and commodities like crude oil and agricultural products.
