In June 2023 , EPA finalized Renewable Fuel Standards for 2023 , 2024 and 2025 that provided what the Alliance called “ only moderate increases ” in the biomass-based diesel and non-cellulosic advanced volumes each year . EPA established a 60-million-gallon increase in biomass-based diesel volumes for 2023 and a 530-million-gallon increase for 2024 and 2025 . Clean Fuels advocated increased growth of 500 million gallons for the biomass-based diesel category each of the three years .
