International Maritime Organization’s Net-Zero Framework May Offer Long-Term Solution for U.S. Farmers Through Biofuel Demand
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rural America is under mounting financial pressure as commodity prices for corn and soybeans have fallen 40-50% from recent highs, while production costs remain elevated. A recent National Corn Growers Association survey shows that nearly half of U.S. farmers believe the nation is on the brink of a farm crisis.1 For many, 2025 marks the third consecutive year of negative profitability, threatening both food security and the stability of local economies.
Industry leaders stress that short-term fixes will not be enough. Instead, new and durable demand markets are required to restore profitability for America’s farmers. A potential breakthrough may come this October, when the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is expected to finalize its Net-Zero Framework, requiring large ocean-going vessels to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions beginning in 2027.2
This policy will accelerate demand for biofuels; renewable fuels made from plant material, animal waste, and agricultural residues.3 By 2030, biofuel demand for maritime use could grow by up to 25 million metric tons; one-third of global demand.4
“Biofuels represent more than just cleaner energy. They represent a lifeline for U.S. farmers,” said Ben Kruger, senior vice president, Roeslein Renewables. “By leveraging our agricultural waste and renewable resources, we can stabilize rural communities while helping the shipping industry decarbonize.”
Among the most promising fuels are:
- BioLNG: Produced from manure, crop residues, and food waste, BioLNG is compatible with existing LNG infrastructure and can even achieve negative lifecycle emissions. With over 1 billion tons of agricultural waste generated annually, the U.S. is uniquely positioned to lead in BioLNG production.5
- Biodiesel: Derived from animal fats, oilseeds, and used cooking oil, biodiesel offers a near drop-in replacement for marine diesel with minimal retrofitting. Increased demand could equal up to twice the size of Iowa’s annual soybean crop, generating new markets for farmers across multiple feedstocks.
Together, BioLNG and biodiesel could help U.S. agriculture supply flexible, scalable, and sustainable fuel solutions for maritime shipping. Projections show these markets could generate $100-200 billion in new farm revenues by 2050, reducing dependence on ad hoc government assistance and strengthening rural economies.
To seize this opportunity, U.S. leadership will be critical. Key actions include:
- Coordinating USDA, DOE, EPA, and Treasury programs to support renewable maritime fuels.
- Fast-tracking renewable fuel production and blending infrastructure.
- Streamlining permitting and credit verification for small and mid-sized farms.
- Establishing maritime fuel corridors linking inland feedstock to coastal ports.
“The IMO will reward early movers,” Bryan Sievers, director of government relations, Roeslein Renewables, emphasized. “The U.S. must act now to ensure farmers are not left behind. As the world’s ships sail toward net-zero, it’s time for American agriculture to chart its own course; powered by innovation, infrastructure, and resources we can no longer afford to waste.”

In the face of climate change and the crucial need for sustainable practices, the real estate sector is undergoing a transformative shift. With buildings today contributing to roughly 40% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions1, and with the projection that 70% of the global population will live in cities by 20502, the importance of decarbonizing operations in real estate is clear.
Thankfully, AI can help.
Our newest report explores the critical role of AI in combating these issues to both enhance energy efficiency and sustainability within the commercial real estate sector.

Human-centric AI principles in real estate
-
User comfort and well-being
Human-centric AI in building control systems focuses on maintaining optimal indoor environmental quality. It dynamically adjust building systems based on occupant preferences to create a productive and healthy indoor environment.
-
Energy performance and sustainability
Human-centric AI optimizes building control systems to minimize energy demand and environmental impact, while maintaining high comfort levels. It employs advanced algorithms and predictive analytics to optimize heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and other energy-consuming devices based on real-time data and occupancy patterns.
-
Adaptation and flexibility
Human-centric AI enables building control systems to adapt to changing occupancy patterns, usage scenarios, and external conditions. It employs machine learning and adaptive control techniques to learn from historical data and dynamically adjust system parameters to meet evolving needs and preferences.
-
Transparency and control
Human-centric AI provides transparency and control over building systems, allowing building owners to understand how the systems operate and adjust settings according to preferences of tenants and visitors.
-
Interoperability and integration
Human-centric AI facilitates interoperability and integration between different building systems and devices.
The integration of AI in commercial real estate not only leads to improved energy performance but also opens doors for enhanced competitive advantages through sustainability-driven strategies. As the market continues to evolve, it becomes evident that AI is no longer an optional enhancement; instead, it is a necessary framework for fostering energy efficient practices in an ever-competitive landscape.
Unlock the potential of AI with KPMG
KPMG professionals help clients harness the power and the potential of AI from strategy to implementation:
