HR 4469 United States House · 118th Congress

No Fuel Credits for Batteries Act of 2023

HR 4469, the No Fuel Credits for Batteries Act of 2023, prevents the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from authorizing or using credits for electricity generated from renewable fuel to meet transportation fuel requirements under the Clean Air Act. The bill directly affects renewable energy companies and electric vehicle manufacturers that previously relied on these credits (eRINs) for compliance. It prohibits the EPA from creating new credits for electricity-based renewable fuel and requires the agency to block the use or transfer of any existing credits generated before the law's enactment. The law specifically clarifies that these provisions apply to credits tied to renewable fuel used in electricity, not traditional biofuels in transportation fuel.
