What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "No Fuel Credits for Batteries Act of 2025," aims to clarify rules regarding renewable fuel credits. It specifically targets eRINs, which are credits generated from electricity produced via renewable fuel. The legislation directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to stop authorizing these specific credits to meet transportation fuel volume requirements under the Clean Air Act. Additionally, it requires the prohibition of the use or transfer of any such credits created before the Act is passed.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
