Iowa #Biodiesel Industry to Trump: Don’t Leave us Behind tinyurl.com/45fzt3ut

An inspiring closing speech by leadership coach and author Aaron Putze @IowaSoybeans! BE STILL. Be Positive. WELCOME DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. Encourage. BE HUMBLE #CleanFuels26

As clean fuel markets continue to grow, pressure on feedstocks has never been greater. With margins thin and compliance burdens rising, producers, marketers and advocates must understand the shifting landscape for feedstocks. Clean Fuels COO Doug Whitehead along with a panel of experts led the final Mainstage today discussing how 45Z, #RFS changes and import rules are reshaping sourcing strategies—and what it all means for future production. #CleanFuels26

Clean Fuels CEO kicks off Clean Fuels Conference: "I'm asking each of you, stay with us, stay engaged...because, divided we are vulnerable to being picked apart by those who don't share our vision. United, WE are the force that shapes America's energy future." #CleanFuels26

From soybean farmer Kevin Ross on #RFS and other stalled #biodiesel policies...Opinion: EPA and Treasury must act now as biodiesel industry bleeds agri-pulse.com/articles/24038… @EPA @IowaSoybeans @FuelingAction

We welcomed this week’s decision by CA @AirResources and @CARB_EO Steven Cliff to sunset an outdated NOx mitigation requirement for biodiesel blends. tinyurl.com/58xz6pb2

We're raising the urgency @EPA & @epaleezeldin to finalize 26-27#RFS rule by Jan. 31. EPA has said any delay would push compliance to June: catastrophic to IA's independent, farmer-owned #biodiesel plants. iowabiodiesel.org/the-newsroom/i… @ChuckGrassley @SenJoniErnst

This is exciting news!
