US EPA raises 2017 biofuels blending mandate

摘要

Washington-The US Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday it will require refin- ers and blenders to mix 19.28 billion gallons of renewable fuel into the US transportation fuel supply in 2017, 480 million gallons more than it proposed in May. The 2017 Renewable Fuel Standard requires that 4.28 billion gallons of the total must be advanced biofuels, including 2 billion gallons of biodiesel and 311 million gallons of cellulosic biofuels.
