Bill > HRes1315

This Resolution expresses official congressional support for designating May 2026 as "Renewable Fuels Month," highlighting the significant economic, environmental, and national security benefits of domestically produced biofuels—which are transportation fuels made from renewable organic matter like plants and waste oils. The document emphasizes that renewable fuels, including ethanol (a plant-based additive mixed into gasoline), biodiesel and renewable diesel (cleaner alternatives to petroleum-based diesel that can run in standard engines), and sustainable aviation fuel (renewable jet fuel), play a vital role in the U.S. economy by supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs, boosting household incomes, and increasing the market value of American agricultural products like corn and soybeans. Furthermore, the Resolution notes that these alternative fuels help lower fuel prices for consumers, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and harmful air pollution compared to traditional fossil fuels, and strengthen national energy independence by lessening the country's reliance on foreign oil.
