Reduce regulatory burden by confirming an aggregate recognition of U.S. and Canadian farming practices as sustainable. Simplify farm-level declarations in jurisdictions where there is aggregate recognition of sustainability.
Remove barriers to blending higher levels of biofuel including ethanol (E15 – E85) and accelerate adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
