# EPA?S Proposed Biofuel Targets Could Stall Industry Growth And Drive Up Prices

> The Advanced Biofuels Association cites a GlobalData Agri study saying EPA's proposal to halve RIN value for foreign feedstocks in the 2026-2027 RVOs could stall biomass-based diesel growth and raise consumer costs. The study says domestic feedstock is sufficient for projected 2026 and 2027 volumes.

## Why it matters

Limiting access to imported feedstocks could cap biodiesel expansion and tighten fats and oils supplies, supporting vegetable oil prices while reducing demand for imported feedstock.
