119th (2025–2027)
H.Res. 1315
This is a symbolic congressional resolution expressing support for designating May 2026 as "Renewable Fuels Month" to highlight the benefits of ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. The resolution recognizes that renewable fuels lower consumer fuel prices, reduce dependence on foreign oil, support rural farming communities, and decrease carbon emissions compared to petroleum-based fuels. According to the resolution, the renewable fuels industry supports over 316,000 jobs in the United States, contributes nearly $50 billion to the gross domestic product, and generated $42.4 billion in economic impact in the biodiesel and renewable diesel sectors alone in 2024. The resolution does not authorize any funding or create any new programs, as it is a non-binding statement of congressional support sponsored by representatives from agricultural states.
