Fuel STAR Act of 2026

This bill would change the federal Renewable Fuel Standard under the Clean Air Act. It would cap the yearly required volume of conventional renewable fuel at the projected national use of ethanol-blended fuel, let some 2020–2022 credits be used for five more years, and bar the EPA from requiring electric credits (e-RINs). It would expand and change the rules for small refinery exemptions, treat petitions as granted if the EPA does not respond with a legal basis within 90 days, and stop the EPA from shifting exempted refineries' obligations to other refineries. It would also apply the same vapor pressure rules to gasoline with up to 15 percent ethanol (E15) as to 10 percent blends, allowing year-round E15 sales.
