# Governors Urge EPA to Increase Biomass-based Diesel RVOs - World-Energy

> Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska governors wrote to EPA Administrator Michael Regan on May 25 urging higher biomass-based diesel volumes for 2023-25. They said the proposed volumes would not reach 3 billion gallons by 2025, even though domestic output topped 3 billion gallons in 2022. The letter warns that producer and farmer investments are at risk.

## Why it matters

Political pressure from Midwest governors raises the chance that the EPA will lift biodiesel mandates, which would support soybean oil and crush demand. The outcome of the final rule remains uncertain.
