Five governors asked the EPA on 9 November to waive 2027 Renewable Fuel Standard obligations, and the American Soybean Association warned that a waiver would badly hurt soybean markets. The Renewable Fuels Association rejected the request, arguing that fuel price increases stem from global petroleum disruptions.
A waiver would cut the required biofuel blending volume, reducing demand for soybean oil and corn ethanol and putting downward pressure on prices.
