Aug 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Epa has actually introduced investigations into the supply chains of at least 2 renewable fuel manufacturers in the middle of market concerns that some might be utilizing deceitful feedstocks for biodiesel to secure financially rewarding government aids.

EPA representative Jeffrey Landis informed Reuters that the firm has actually introduced audits over the previous year, but decreased to determine the companies targeted because the examinations are continuous.

The production of biodiesel from sustainable ingredients, like used cooking oil, can earn refiners a multitude of state and federal ecological and climate aids, consisting of tradable credits under a program administered by the EPA called the Standard. But fears have been installing that some supplies identified as used cooking oil are actually more affordable and less sustainable virgin palm oil, an item that is connected with deforestation and other environmental damage.

The issue entered focus following a surge in used cooking oil exports from Asia in current years that analysts have said involves unrealistically high volumes relative to the amount of cooking oil used and recuperated in the region. The European Union is also examining feedstocks over the scams issues.

The EPA audits started after the firm updated domestic supply-chain accounting requirements in July 2023 for eco-friendly fuel producers seeking to make credits under the RFS, he said.

"EPA has actually carried out audits of sustainable fuel manufacturers since July 2023 that includes, amongst other things, an evaluation of the areas that used cooking oil utilized in eco-friendly fuel production was gathered," he stated. "These examinations, however, are ongoing and we are unable to go over ongoing enforcement examinations."

U.S. senators from farm states have actually required more oversight of biofuel feedstocks, saying federal companies should be as rigorous in verifying imports as they are auditing domestic supply chains.

"The Biden administration has created vigorous requirements to confirm, not just trust, American manufacturers, and it is important that the same scrutiny is applied to imported feedstocks," six U.S. senators, led by Roger Marshall and Sherrod Brown, wrote in a June 20 letter to federal firms.

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