EPA Publishes Final 2017 RFS Requirements
Courtesy of Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.
On December 12, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule, Renewable Fuel Standard Program: Standards for 2017 and Biomass-Based Diesel Volume for 2018, in the Federal Register. This final rule sets the annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel for motor vehicle gasoline and diesel produced or imported in 2017, as reported in the Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group’s (BRAG®) blog post EPA Signs Final RFS Requirements. The proposed volume requirements are:
- Cellulosic biofuel, from 230 million gallons in 2016 to 311 million gallons in 2017;
- Advanced biofuel, from 3.61 billion gallons in 2016 to 4.28 billion gallons in 2017;
- Renewable fuel, from 18.11 billion gallons in 2016 to 19.28 billion gallons in 2017; and
- Biomass-based diesel, from 2 billion gallons in 2017 to 2.1 billion gallons in 2018.
These volumes change the percentage standards to 0.173 percent for cellulosic biofuel, 2.38 percent for advanced biofuel, 10.70 percent for renewable fuel, and 1.67 percent for biomass-based diesel. This final rule becomes effective on February 10, 2017.
