The future of biofuels remains a question mark. “The Trump administration was vocally very supportive of biofuels and production agriculture,” says David Ripplinger, bioenergy economist, North Dakota State University. “That didn’t necessarily translate to pursuing ways in which the RFS would fully benefit or lead to higher uses of biofuels.” Ripplinger says changes to the Inflation Reduction Act could be impactful, but says it would not be an easy task for the new administration.
