06-07-2023 NATSO, representing America鈥檚 truckstops and travel centers, SIGMA: America鈥檚 Leading Fuel Marketers and the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) will file comments today on the Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 (EPA) proposed Renewable Fuel Standard rule raising concerns that the proposal risks squandering a significant opportunity to spur investments in EV charging stations. EPA proposed that automakers, rather than owners of public direct current (DC) fast chargers, should have the ability to generate electricity Renewable Identification Numbers (e-RINs).
02-10-2023 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today issued its final renewable volume obligations (RVOs) for 2022, 2021 and 2020 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The agency separately denied 69 petitions for small refinery exemptions (SREs) from 33 small refineries.
06-03-2022 The Final Rule also includes the Agency’s plan for “reallocating” gallons of renewable fuel that are waived pursuant to the “Small Refinery Exemption” Program.
12-19-2019 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on July 5 proposed renewable volume obligations (RVOs) for 2020 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). EPA also proposed RVOs for biomass-based diesel (BBD) for 2021. In the rule, EPA said it would use its waiver authority to lower the volumes of cellulosic biofuels, advanced biofuels, and total renewable fuels below the statutory targets.
07-08-2019 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sent a draft proposal to set 2020 renewable blending obligations (RVOs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review. This marks the final step before a proposed rule is released for public comment.
05-09-2019 The Environmental Protection Agency has sent its final renewable volume obligations for 2019 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This marks the final step before EPA’s proposed 2019 renewable fuel mandates are finalized. 黑料社区will meet with OMB to discuss the proposal in the coming days.
10-31-2018 A travel center executive testifying on behalf of 黑料社区told the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the Agency needs a transparent process to guide its assessment of small refinery waiver requests to ensure that such exemptions don鈥檛 continue to undermine the law鈥檚 intent and decrease demand for biofuels.
07-18-2018 黑料社区member Beth Westemeyer, Director of Business Development for Anew Travel and Fuel Centers, the retail arm of Zeeland Farm Services in Zeeland, Mich., is scheduled to testify July 18 at the Environmental Protection Agency’s public hearing in Ypsilanti, Mich., regarding the agency’s proposed renewable fuel standards for 2019 and the biomass-based diesel volume for 2020.
07-17-2018 The Environmental Protection Agency on June 26 released its proposed renewable volume obligations for 2019 under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The proposal also includes a proposed 2020 volume mandate for biomass-based diesel. The proposal would increase advanced biofuels volume requirements for 2019 and biodiesel requirements for 2020 while holding the so-called “ethanol” volume requirement steady.
