The Environmental Protection Agency is getting mixed reviews for its proposed final rule for the Renewable Fuel Standard over the next three years.
Emily Skor with Growth Energy says biofuels remain the single best tool for shielding motorists from volatile oil prices while decarbonizing the transportation sector. “We are greatly encouraged by EPA’s strong set proposal with implied conventional biofuel volumes at 15 billion gallons for 2023 and increasing to 15.25 billion for 2024 and 2025.”
National Corn Growers Association President Tom Haag says he’s pleased with EPA’s proposal of annual blending increases and renewable fuel volumes but encourages them to allow more ethanol.
