<br>EPA representative Jeffrey Landis informed Reuters that the firm has [launched audits](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) over the past year, but [decreased](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) to recognize the [business targeted](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) because the examinations are continuous.<br>
<br>The production of [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) from sustainable components, like used cooking oil, can earn refiners a multitude of state and federal environmental and environment subsidies, consisting of tradable credits under a program administered by the EPA called the Renewable Fuel Standard. But worries have been installing that some materials labeled as used cooking oil are actually [cheaper](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) and less sustainable virgin palm oil, an item that is connected with [logging](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) and other ecological damage.<br>
<br>The [concern](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) entered into focus following a rise in utilized cooking oil exports from Asia in current years that experts have actually stated involves unrealistically high volumes relative to the quantity of cooking oil utilized and recuperated in the area.

<br>The EPA audits started after the agency upgraded domestic supply-chain accounting requirements in July 2023 for [eco-friendly](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) fuel [producers](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) looking for to make [credits](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) under the RFS, he stated.<br>
<br>"EPA has actually performed audits of eco-friendly fuel producers given that July 2023 which consists of, to name a few things, an evaluation of the locations that used cooking oil utilized in eco-friendly fuel production was collected," he said.

<br>U.S. senators from farm states have called for more of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) feedstocks, stating federal companies must be as strenuous in confirming imports as they are auditing domestic supply chains.<br>
<br>"The Biden administration has actually produced vigorous requirements to verify, not just trust, American manufacturers, and it is necessary that the very same examination is applied to imported feedstocks," 6 U.S. senators, led by Roger Marshall and Sherrod Brown, composed in a June 20 letter to federal companies.<br>
<br>Another letter from 15 [senators](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to the [Treasury Department](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) on July 30 [prompted](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) the administration to exclude imported [feedstocks](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) like UCO from an additional clean fuel tax credit program passed in the Inflation Reduction Act.
