EPA Proposes Partial Waiver of 2024 Cellulosic RVO, Updates to RFS Biogas Provisions
The U.S. EPA on Dec. 5 issued a proposed rule to partially waive the compliance year 2024 renewable volume obligation (RVO) for cellulosic biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard. The rulemaking also proposes to extend the RFS compliance reporting deadline for 2024 and revises certain biogas provisions included in RFS regulations.
The American Fuel & Petrochemicals Manufacturers on Nov. 1 petitioned the EPA seeking a partial waiver of 2024 cellulosic RVOs. The agency on Nov. 12 delivered a proposed rulemaking regarding the partial waiver to the White House Office of Management and Budget. That proposed rule has now been released for public comment.
