      Renewable Fuel Standard Program: Standards for 2019 and Biomass-Based Diesel Volume for 2020

> The EPA published a proposed rule setting 2019 Renewable Fuel Standard percentage requirements for cellulosic, advanced, and total renewable fuel, and a 2020 biomass-based diesel volume. The agency relies on statutory waiver authority to propose volumes below statutory targets for cellulosic, advanced, and total renewable fuel.

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

## Why it matters

Higher biofuel blending mandates support demand for soybean oil and corn ethanol feedstocks, though waivers that reduce required volumes weaken that support and temper the price impact.
