Biofuels Groups Skeptical Of EPA's Proposed Boost For 2019 RFS Targets

摘要

Biofuels groups are expressing skepticism over an apparent proposal by EPA to boost targets for advanced biofuels production in the agency's pending 2019 renewable fuel standard (RFS), saying the Trump administration's decision to grant a number of RFS compliance waivers for "small" refiners is undermining the market for biofuels.EPA's proposed 2019 RFS targets, which it sent for White House Office of Management & Budget (OMB) pre-publication review on May 11. would boost the required volume for advanced biofuels by nearly 500 million gallons over 2018 levels, which includes the volume for cellulosic biofuels, industry sources say.
