USDA to Provide $7 Million for Advanced Biofuel Production

On Friday, USDA announced the availability of $7 million nationwide to advanced biofuel producers through the Advanced Biofuel Producer Payment Program.  The funding, authorized under the One Big Beautiful Bill, will support eligible producers by providing quarterly payments based on the actual production of finished advanced biofuels.

The enrollment period runs from October 1 to December 15, 2025.

“This home-grown biofuel production results in lower prices at the pumps, creates jobs, and puts farmers first,” Ag Secretary Brook Rollins said, emphasizing President Donald Trump’s "effort to bolster U.S. energy independence and rural economies."

Advanced biofuels are defined under 7 CFR Part 4288 and, through this initiative, USDA aims to increase domestic production using American-grown feedstocks.
