WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2025 – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins today announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture is making $7 million in payments available to advanced biofuel producers nationwide through the Advanced Biofuel Producer Payment Program, which is a provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill. The funding is aimed at increasing the production of American grown biofuels.
“President Trump is supporting and expanding American biofuel production through bold programs like this one, securing our Nation’s energy dominance by investing in producers,” said Secretary Rollins. “This home-grown biofuel production results in lower prices at the pumps, creates jobs, and puts Farmers First.”
The Advanced Biofuel Production Payment Program supports expanding the production of advanced biofuels by paying advanced biofuel producers for finished advanced biofuel products. Eligible producers are paid on a quarterly basis for the actual quantity of eligible advanced biofuel produced during the quarter. Advanced biofuels are defined in 7 CFR Part 4288 and 102. The Program Enrollment Period for this opportunity is October 1, 2025, through December 15, 2025.
