Biogas from livestock operations and other biomass sources that are used to generate power for electric vehicles could qualify for Renewable Fuel Standard credits for the first time under regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to increase the amount of biofuels that must be blended with gasoline to meet requirements under the Renewable Fuel Standard, the agency announced today.
A consent decree between the Environmental Protection Agency and biofuel trade association Growth Energy has been modified to give the Biden administration until the end of November to finalize its proposal for upcoming renewable fuels blending requirements.
In a report that was immediately attacked as “shoddy” by the renewable fuels industry but welcomed by lawmakers representing refineries, the Government Accountability Office said recent denials of small refinery exemption petitions are based on “a potentially flawed assumption."
Regulators need to take a closer look at the impacts of biofuel production on land use and the carbon intensity of anaerobic digesters as they develop lifecycle assessments for transportation fuels, a National Academy of Sciences report says.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan offered renewable fuel advocates a sign of hope Tuesday as he offered comments on what he wants to see from the looming biofuel volumes the agency is expected to propose later this year.
The Environmental Protection Agency has finalized blending requirements under the nation’s biofuel mandate and is calling for higher usage of renewable fuels this year as consumers face skyrocketing gas prices at the pump.
The Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to a timeline for the publishing of future biofuel mandate blending targets and is expected to soon seek public comment on the proposed schedule.
As stakeholders await the finalization of biofuel blending targets for 2021 and 2022 – as well as potential retroactive cuts to the 2020 RVO that enraged the biofuels industry – attention is shifting to how the agency might handle future announcements.
A top Biden administration official says it wants to provide more certainty around the Renewable Fuel Standard and “get the program back on track”. EPA Administrator Michael Regan also discussed WOTUS and pesticide registrations.
