​

AFCC advocates in the U.S. Congress and with U.S. federal agencies on matters of interest to its member companies, who represent the entire value chain of companies involved in the development and production of the advanced transportation fuel, renewable chemical, biobased product, and synthetic aviation fuel industries.
Read about AFCC's FY2021 legislative victory
The enactment of Section 9010 of the Consolidated Appropriations Bill of FY2021 (Public Law 116-260) led to significant improvements in the operations of the Department of Energy's Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program allowing more companies to apply and more projects to receive funding, improvements that, even with recent reductions in the Loan Program Office staff and the Title 17's loan authority, remain intact.
​
AFCC continues to advocate for and defend the federal programs important to its member companies (see the links below to the two 2025 Biofuells Digest articles by AFCC's co-founder, CJ Evans).

Under Development
​
The Susan Jean Murphy Evans Living Legacy Fund is being established to carry on Susan's passion for helping those in need.
​
Susan, who passed away on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, had a nearly 50-year career as a top-tier development officer and mentor to young staff who have since pursued fundraising careers of their own.
​
The foundation, once Susan's husband is able to establish it, will focus on five areas of giving:
​
1. Operating a fundraising mentoring program for college and university students in cooperation with the University of Virginia's (UVA's) Madison House;
​
2. Providing micro-grants to help those in need on an individual, case-by-case basis to fill in the gaps in existing health, nutrition,
housing, and employment programs;
3. Supporting, in cooperation with UVA Health, family-member counseling to cope with the mental health and stress challenges that occur during the progression of a loved one's Parkinson's disease,
4. Supporting, in cooperation with UVA Health, the "Susan Evans Patient Assistance Fund" to improve access to health care by providing fill-in-the-gaps services, such as transportation to medical appointments; in-home medical equipment, mental health counseling, and more; and
​
​5.Supporting community-focused non-profit organization programs.
