Klobuchar Statement on EPA's Renewable Volume Obligations Announcement
June 13, 2025
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement on the EPA's new Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) standards.
The recently announced blending levels under the Renewable Fuel Standard advances the bipartisan efforts Senator Grassley and I have led to increase the blending of homegrown biofuels, including ethanol and biomass-based diesel. As farmers continue to face the headwinds of uncertain trade and across-the-board tariffs, domestic biofuel production remains a critical market for our farmers. I have long pushed back against the flagrant abuse of Small Refinery Waivers. Any gallons waived by legitimate waivers must be accounted for in the final RVOs.
