Analysts say a potential retroactive cut to 2020 US biofuel blending obligations is unlikely to change biofuel supply or production. Compliance credits (RINs) could be affected, and biodiesel is largely unaffected since its 2021 volume was already finalized.
Limited effect on physical biofuel output means little direct change to feedstock demand, though uncertainty around RINs and policy could weigh on sentiment for biofuel-linked crops.
