Bill > HRes375

This resolution expresses support for designating May 2025 as "Renewable Fuels Month" while highlighting the significant economic and environmental contributions of renewable fuels, particularly ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. The resolution emphasizes that the United States is the world's largest biofuels producer, noting that in 2024, the ethanol industry supported over 55,810 direct jobs and 258,089 indirect jobs, generated $28.3 billion in household income, and contributed over $53 billion to the gross domestic product. The resolution underscores the environmental benefits of renewable fuels, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 44-52% compared to gasoline, decreasing reliance on imported oil, and supporting rural economies by providing additional value to agricultural products like corn and soybeans. Additionally, the resolution recognizes how renewable fuels like biodiesel and renewable diesel can be used in existing engines without modifications, improve air quality by reducing particulate matter, and help stabilize fuel prices. By supporting the designation of Renewable Fuels Month, the resolution aims to draw attention to the critical role of renewable fuels in economic development, environmental sustainability, and energy independence.
