Biofuels

Canola oil is an excellent feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel production with its low saturated fat content, which allows it to withstand colder temperatures. The USCA supports all market channels for canola, farmers’ right to choose, sustainable energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). It encourages enforcement of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on unfairly subsidized biodiesel imports. Below are letters and comments to legislators about RFS extensions and volumes, tax credits for biodiesel production, canola biodiesel sustainability and related trade issues.
