Plain-English Summary
The proposal would change how the government defines renewable biomass—materials like wood and agricultural waste that can be converted into fuel—under the renewable fuel standard, which requires fuel companies to blend renewable fuels into gasoline and diesel. These changes could affect which types of biomass qualify for use in renewable fuel production, potentially impacting farmers, forestry companies, and fuel producers who rely on these standards. The bill is currently under review by the Senate's environmental committee.
