      Renewable Fuel Standard Program: Standards for 2020 and Biomass-Based Diesel Volume for 2021, Response to the Remand of the 2016 Standards, and Other Changes

> The EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register setting 2020 renewable fuel percentage standards and a 2021 biomass-based diesel volume. The action relies on statutory waiver authority because projected cellulosic biofuel production is below statutory volumes.

- Commodities: [Soybean Oil](https://feedsoft.ai/c/SBO.md), [Corn](https://feedsoft.ai/c/CORN.md)

## Why it matters

Biofuel blending mandates drive demand for corn ethanol and soybean oil used in biodiesel, so the proposed volumes shape feedstock prices for soybean oil and corn.
