# US biofuel plan would reallocate half or less of waived blending quotas, sources say | Reuters

> Reuters reports the White House is reviewing an EPA plan that would reallocate 50% or less of waived biofuel gallons to large refiners. The approach is likely to draw opposition from farm-state lawmakers and support from the oil industry, and could mean about 550 million gallons of lost demand.

## Why it matters

Losing roughly 550 million gallons of biofuel demand would weaken soybean oil use in biodiesel and reduce support for soybean crush, pressuring soybean oil and meal values.
