Aug 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Epa has released investigations into the supply chains of a minimum of two sustainable fuel manufacturers amidst market issues that some may be utilizing deceptive feedstocks for biodiesel to secure profitable government aids.

EPA spokesperson Jeffrey Landis told Reuters that the company has actually released audits over the previous year, but decreased to identify the companies targeted due to the fact that the investigations are continuous.

The production of biodiesel from sustainable ingredients, like used cooking oil, can earn refiners a slew of state and federal ecological and climate subsidies, including tradable credits under a program administered by the EPA called the Renewable Fuel Standard. But fears have been installing that some supplies labeled as used cooking oil are in fact less expensive and less sustainable virgin palm oil, an item that is associated with deforestation and other ecological damage.

The issue entered focus following a rise in used cooking oil exports from Asia in the last few years that experts have stated includes unrealistically high volumes relative to the amount of cooking oil used and recovered in the region. The European Union is also over the scams issues.

The EPA audits began after the firm updated domestic supply-chain accounting requirements in July 2023 for eco-friendly fuel manufacturers seeking to earn credits under the RFS, he stated.

"EPA has actually carried out audits of eco-friendly fuel manufacturers given that July 2023 that includes, amongst other things, an assessment of the locations that utilized cooking oil used in sustainable fuel production was collected," he said. "These investigations, however, are ongoing and we are unable to talk about continuous enforcement examinations."

U.S. senators from farm states have required more oversight of biofuel feedstocks, stating federal firms ought to be as rigorous in validating imports as they are auditing domestic supply chains.

"The Biden administration has produced energetic standards to confirm, not simply trust, American manufacturers, and it is important that the exact same analysis is used to imported feedstocks," 6 U.S. senators, led by Roger Marshall and Sherrod Brown, composed in a June 20 letter to federal firms.

Another letter from 15 senators to the Treasury Department on July 30 advised the administration to leave out imported feedstocks like UCO from an extra tidy fuel tax credit program passed in the Inflation Reduction Act.
