Valero seeks to shift US RFS compliance to rack sellers

摘要

Washington-US refiner Valero is resuming its campaign to change the way the Renewable Fuel Standard is administered, formally asking the Obama administration late Monday to shift the responsibility for complying with the contentious US biofuel mandate to rack sellers. Such a change, Valero said in a petition for a rule-making to the US Environmental Protection Agency, would lessen the financial burden of compliance with the RFS on refiners, while promoting greater consumption of renewable fuels, as the program intends.
