Wildfire Reduction Market Expansion Act of 2026
To amend the Clean Air Act to modify the definition of renewable biomass for purposes of the renewable fuel standard, and for other purposes.
HB9827 proposes to change how we define renewable biomass under the Clean Air Act, which helps set standards for renewable fuels. The bill aims to update the definition to better reflect modern practices and technologies in producing renewable fuels. This change could affect companies that produce renewable fuels, as well as consumers by potentially influencing the availability and cost of these fuels.
The bill was introduced on July 22, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. This committee will review the bill, hold hearings, and possibly make changes before it can move forward for a vote. The bill is currently in its initial stage, with no further actions taken as of now.
The bill has bipartisan support with sponsors from both the Democratic and Republican parties. The key next steps will be the committee review and potential amendments before it advances in the legislative process.
