<br>EPA representative Jeffrey Landis told [Reuters](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) that the agency has launched audits over the past year, however [declined](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) to determine the [business targeted](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) since the investigations 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](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) ingredients, like utilized cooking oil, can earn refiners a [multitude](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) of state and [federal environmental](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) and climate aids, including tradable credits under a program administered by the EPA called the Renewable Fuel Standard. But fears have actually been installing that some products labeled as utilized cooking oil are really more affordable and less [sustainable virgin](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) palm oil, an item that is connected with deforestation and other ecological damage.<br>
<br>The issue entered into focus following a surge in utilized cooking oil exports from Asia recently that [experts](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) have actually stated involves unrealistically high volumes relative to the quantity of [cooking oil](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) utilized and recuperated in the area. The European Union is also investigating feedstocks over the scams concerns.<br>
<br>The EPA audits began after the agency upgraded [domestic supply-chain](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) accounting requirements in July 2023 for sustainable fuel manufacturers [seeking](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) to make under the RFS, he stated.<br>

"These investigations, nevertheless, are ongoing and we are unable to go over continuous enforcement examinations."<br>
<br>U.S. senators from farm states have called for more oversight of [biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) feedstocks, saying federal agencies must be as rigorous 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 producers, and it is vital that the very same examination is applied to imported feedstocks," six U.S. senators, led by Roger Marshall and Sherrod Brown, wrote in a June 20 letter to federal companies.<br>
<br>Another letter from 15 senators to the Treasury Department on July 30 advised the [administration](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) to omit imported feedstocks like UCO from an [additional tidy](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) fuel tax [credit program](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) passed in the Inflation Reduction Act.
