Dossier Legislative introduced 22-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To amend the Clean Air Act to modify the definition of renewable biomass for purposes of the renewable fuel standard, and for other purposes.

Key claim: HR9827 would amend the Clean Air Act to modify the definition of renewable biomass used for the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Abstract

(HR9827 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-22): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

The definition of ‘renewable biomass’ in the Clean Air Act governs which feedstocks (crop residues, forest materials, energy crops) qualify for RFS credits, directly shaping demand and prices for corn, soy, and other biofuel inputs. Even narrow definitional tweaks can shift farmer revenue, ethanol/biodiesel supply, and downstream food and fuel costs. Status is introduction-stage with no committee action yet.
