-
-Whereas the United States is the largest producer of biofuels in the world,
-which contributes to the domestic economy, creates jobs, and reduces
-greenhouse gas emissions;
-Whereas ethanol is a renewable fuel made of biomass from plant materials;
-Whereas, in 2024, more than 55,810 jobs in the United States were directly
-associated with the ethanol industry, with an additional 258,089
-indirect and induced jobs supported across all sectors of the economy;
-Whereas the ethanol industry created $28,300,000,000 in household income and
-contributed more than $53,000,000,000 to the gross domestic product of
-the United States;
-Whereas ethanol and feed co-product production provide a valuable market for
-United States corn, as a typical dry mill ethanol plant adds nearly $2
-of additional value, or 55 percent, to every bushel of corn processed;
-Whereas ethanol use reduces greenhouse gas emissions by between 44 and 52
-percent compared to gasoline, and by displacing hydrocarbon substances
-like aromatics in gasoline, ethanol also helps reduce emissions of air
-toxins, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, and exhaust
-hydrocarbons;
-Whereas, in 2024, ethanol played a vital role in bolstering the energy
-independence of the United States by supplementing nearly 630,000,000
-barrels of imported crude oil;
-Whereas, in 2024, ethanol exports reached a record 1,930,000,000 gallons, an
-increase of over 500,000,000 gallons compared to 2023;
-Whereas \1/3\ of every bushel processed by an ethanol plant is used to make
-distillers grains, one of the most efficient and desirable animal feeds
-available;
-Whereas biodiesel is a drop-in replacement for petroleum-based diesel fuel that
-is produced from renewable resources such as recycled cooking oil,
-soybean oil, distillers corn oil, canola oil, and animal fats;
-Whereas renewable diesel is an advanced biofuel, made from the same feedstocks
-as biodiesel, that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, while meeting the
-same standard specification for diesel fuels as petroleum-based diesel;
-Whereas biofuel production uses more than 1,000,000,000 pounds of soybean oil
-per month and generates increasing amounts of soybean meal for feed
-markets, driving a 30 percent increase in crush capacity across the
-United States;
-Whereas the biodiesel and renewable diesel sectors generated a total economic
-impact of $23,300,000,000, supporting 75,200 United States jobs and
-contributing $3,600,000,000 in wages;
-Whereas biodiesel and renewable diesel can be used in existing diesel engines
-without modification and are available throughout the United States;
-Whereas advanced biofuels like biodiesel and renewable diesel reduce greenhouse
-gas emissions by at least 50 percent compared to petroleum-based diesel;
-Whereas biodiesel emits up to 80 percent less particulate matter than petroleum-
-based diesel, improving air quality and health outcomes;
-Whereas the production of biodiesel and renewable diesel adds to the total
-domestic fuel supply, reducing the price of all diesel fuel at the pump;
-Whereas, without the renewable fuel standard helping to drive production of
-biodiesel and renewable diesel, the value of soybeans grown by farmers
-in the United States would decrease by 8 percent;
-Whereas sustainable aviation fuel is made from renewable biomass and waste
-resources and can deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuel;
-and
-Whereas sustainable aviation fuel can be blended with conventional jet fuel and
-the use of sustainable or blended aviation fuel requires no
-infrastructure or equipment changes: Now, therefore, be it
-Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
-(1) supports the designation of ``Renewable Fuels Month'';
-and
-(2) recognizes--
-(A) the important role renewable fuels play in
-reducing the carbon impact of the United States;
-(B) the ability of renewable fuels to lower fuel
-prices for consumers;
-(C) the support to rural communities that renewable
-fuel industries provide; and
-(D) the opportunity that the production of
-renewable fuels provides to lessen the reliance of the
-United States on foreign adversaries.
