This resolution commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a key national policy established in 2005 and expanded in 2007. It highlights the RFS's foundational role in increasing the supply of domestic renewable energy, thereby strengthening American energy security. The RFS has driven significant private sector investment and innovation, leading to the development of a robust domestic renewable fuels industry with over 275 facilities across 36 states. Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the RFS's positive impacts on rural communities by providing critical markets for farmers and contributing significantly to the U.S. economy. It also emphasizes the RFS's role in improving environmental performance by requiring renewable fuels to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. The Senate affirms the continued importance of the RFS in advancing the nation's energy, economic, and environmental goals, supporting its ongoing implementation to diversify the fuel supply and enhance security.
