BIO Statement on EPA Final Rule for 2014, 2015 and 2016 Renewable Fuel StandardsNov 30 2015
The final rule for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS), issued today by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is an unnecessary, unlawful about face for a program that was successfully driving development of cleaner biofuel technologies and reduction of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
