The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) announced April 4 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering to voluntarily reconsider the 2011 obligation for cellulosic-biofuels under the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS-2).

Now, the EPA has implemented the Court’s order and is voluntarily reconsidering the 2011 obligation for cellulosic-biofuels, which is the subject of a separate lawsuit before the Court.
