<br>Aug 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released investigations into the supply chains of a minimum of two renewable fuel producers amid market concerns that some might be utilizing deceitful feedstocks for [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to protect lucrative government aids.<br>
<br>EPA representative [Jeffrey Landis](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) told Reuters that the firm has actually launched audits over the previous year, but declined to recognize the business targeted since the examinations are continuous.<br>
<br>The production of [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) from sustainable active ingredients, like [utilized cooking](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) oil, can make refiners a variety of state and federal ecological and environment subsidies, including tradable credits under a program administered by the EPA called the Renewable Fuel [Standard](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile). But fears have been mounting that some materials identified as [utilized cooking](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) oil are in fact cheaper and less [sustainable virgin](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) palm oil, a product that is related to deforestation and other ecological damage.<br>
<br>The concern entered into focus following a rise in [utilized cooking](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [oil exports](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) from Asia in [current](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) years that experts have actually [stated involves](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) unrealistically high volumes relative to the [quantity](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) of cooking oil used and recuperated in the region. The European Union is likewise examining feedstocks over the scams concerns.<br>
<br>The EPA audits began after the company updated domestic supply-chain accounting requirements in July 2023 for renewable fuel manufacturers seeking to earn credits under the RFS, he stated.<br>
<br>"EPA has performed audits of eco-friendly fuel manufacturers since July 2023 that includes, to name a few things, an examination of the areas that used cooking oil used in sustainable fuel production was gathered," he said. "These investigations, nevertheless, are ongoing and we are unable to go over continuous enforcement investigations."<br>
<br>U.S. senators from farm states have required more oversight of [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) feedstocks, [stating federal](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) firms ought to be as strenuous in verifying imports as they are auditing [domestic supply](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) chains.<br>
<br>"The Biden administration has actually created energetic standards to confirm, not just trust, American manufacturers, and it is necessary that the very same scrutiny is used to imported feedstocks," six U.S. senators, led by Roger Marshall and [Sherrod](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Brown, composed in a June 20 letter to federal companies.<br>
<br>Another letter from 15 [senators](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to the Treasury Department on July 30 advised the [administration](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) to leave out imported feedstocks like UCO from an extra clean [credit program](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) passed in the [Inflation Reduction](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) Act.
