The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a reduction in the amount of biofuels required to be added to gasoline, Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-biofuels-idUSKBN19Q27M), in what could be a first step towards a wider reform of the authority’s biofuel rules.
Currently, the Renewable Fuel Standard, which was introduced back in 2005, requires that gasoline in the U.S. must be blended with biofuels. The amount of biofuels was planned to gradually increase on an annual basis, to reach 36 billion gallons (http://www.ethanolrfa.org/policy/regulations/renewable-fuel-standard/) in output in 2022.
As Reuters notes, however, the EPA’s proposal will actually lower the requirements for “renewable fuels” 2018.
