The USDA has finalized its Production of Regenerative Agricultural Biofuel Feedstocks rule, creating a standardized way for farmers to measure carbon intensity reductions from conservation practices. The updated Feedstock Carbon Intensity Calculator helps producers document environmental benefits when growing crops for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. Clean Fuels Alliance America supports the rule, saying it helps farmers earn more from expanding renewable fuel markets. The framework recognizes regenerative farming practices and may open new revenue streams while supporting lower-carbon fuel production. The group plans to work with USDA to add more approved feedstocks and conservation practices in future updates.
