Tour Recap: Clean Fuels in Action Across New York City!

On September 18, the Clean Fuels Alliance Foundation hosted congressional staffers for an educational tour highlighting how and are supporting cleaner transportation, heating, and marine operations across New York City.

The day began with presentations from industry experts on renewable fuel production, agricultural markets, and New York City's efforts to incorporate renewable fuels into its municipal fleets.

At Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, participants learned about the school's transition to 100% biodiesel heating and heard directly from students about their sustainability efforts.

The tour also included discussions on oilseed processing and renewable home heating, followed by a visit to the Brooklyn Marine Terminal to explore the City's Blue Highways initiative and the use of renewable diesel in marine transportation.

The day concluded with discussions on how renewable fuels are helping reduce emissions in local communities and supporting sustainability goals for commercial fleets.

Thank you to all our hosts, speakers, students, and participants for showcasing the real-world applications of clean fuels!

Could emerging oilseed crops like camelina and winter canola help meet growing demand for clean fuels while creating new opportunities for American farmers?

Chelsey Robinson, Director of Stakeholder Affairs, Bioeconomy & Sustainable Ag Systems at Bayer Crop Science, joins Clean Fuels Director of Environmental Science Veronica Bradley on the latest episode of the Better. Cleaner. Now! Podcast.

Together, they explore how intermediate oilseeds like camelina, winter canola and cover cress could expand the feedstock supply for and . The discussion highlights how growing these crops between traditional growing seasons could provide additional income for farmers while improving soil health and supporting lower-carbon fuel production.

Connecting Farms, Fuel and Flight!

The future of is taking root on America’s farms. Expanding domestic production can create new markets for agricultural feedstocks, generate additional revenue for farmers, strengthen the aviation industry and drive economic growth across rural communities.

At the 2026 Global Aerospace Summit, leaders emphasized that capturing this opportunity will require collaboration among farmers, fuel producers, aviation leaders and policymakers, along with investment in the infrastructure needed to move SAF from production facilities to airports.

Learn how cooperation across the clean fuels value chain can turn growing SAF demand into lasting economic opportunity:

The future of SAF will depend on strong partnerships among farmers, fuel producers, the aviation industry and government leaders, according to panelists pa

In case you missed it, the Biofuels: Science and Sustainability Tour stopped at the Iowa State Capitol for a look at the growing connection between American agriculture and aviation.

Kent Hartwig, director of state government affairs for Gevo, spoke with more than 40 congressional staffers about the developing industry and the opportunity to turn renewable ethanol made from American corn into drop-in aviation fuel. Expanding SAF production can create new demand for agricultural commodities while providing aviation with an important pathway to reduce lifecycle emissions.

The Clean Fuels Alliance Foundation was proud to sponsor the 17th annual tour, hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association.

In case you missed it, the 17th annual Biofuels: Science and Sustainability Tour brought more than 40 congressional staffers to the Kimberley family farm near Maxwell, Iowa, for a firsthand look at where clean fuels begin.

Grant and Rick Kimberley shared how their multigenerational family farm grows corn and soybeans while putting to work in its own machinery. The stop offered a full-circle example of how homegrown clean fuels create markets for American crops, support rural communities and provide lower-carbon solutions that are available today.

The Clean Fuels Alliance Foundation was proud to sponsor the tour, hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association.

Clean Fuels Alliance America’s Paul Winters spoke with 40 congressional staffers participating in the IRFA Science and Sustainability Tour at Chevron’s plant in Newton, Iowa.

The stop offered staff an up-close look at biodiesel production and an opportunity to learn more about the role play in America’s energy and agricultural economy.

The opportunity for clean fuels extends from the road to the runway.

A new Airbus and ICF study estimates that developing a Canadian sustainable aviation fuel market capable of meeting 40% of the country’s aviation fuel demand by 2040 could contribute $32 billion to Canada’s GDP and support 140,000 jobs.

SAF can be produced from renewable feedstocks also familiar to the biodiesel and renewable diesel industries, including fats, oils and used cooking oil. Expanding this market could strengthen the broader clean-fuels value chain while supporting energy security, economic growth and lower lifecycle emissions from aviation.

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could become a major driver of Canada's industrial and economic growth, according to a macroeconomic study conducted by Air

Stronger crops can help build a stronger future for biodiesel.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is inviting universities and other partners to develop artificial intelligence tools that bring together germplasm data, images, field observations and laboratory results. Although the initiative applies broadly across agriculture, these tools could help researchers develop more productive and resilient oilseed crops that supply feedstocks for biodiesel production.

Accelerating crop innovation can strengthen American agriculture, expand domestic feedstock supplies and support continued growth across the biodiesel value chain.

The USDA is taking steps to speed up progress in plant science by calling on universities and stakeholders to help build new AI tools that can translate th
