EPA Seeks Better Cellulosic Ethanol Data To Improve Renewable Fuel Standard Rules

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency is requesting additional data from cellulosic biofuels producers as it seeks to improve its process for setting the annual renewable fuel standard. The EPA has consistently overestimated the amount of cellulosic biofuel that can be produced each year. The latest questionnaire to fuels producers is intended to improve the data the EPA has when it sets the annual blending mandate, according to an information collection request to be published in the Federal Register March 24.
