WASHINGTON, D.C.—Development Power, the nation’s largest biofuels commerce affiliation, filed briefs to intervene in three instances this week in help of the U.S. Environmental Safety Company (EPA) and its choices to disclaim small-refinery exemptions (SREs) for refiners searching for to keep away from complying with their mixing obligations beneath the Renewable Gasoline Customary (RFS).
“Petitioners have tried time and again to keep away from complying with the RFS as a result of much less biofuel in America’s gas combine means extra money for them,” stated Development Power CEO Emily Skor. “Fortunately, EPA has continued to rightly deny SREs, having demonstrated many times that refiners haven’t any good purpose to not meet their mixing obligations. On this week’s filings, Development Power continues to hunt to defend the RFS—the nation’s most profitable local weather coverage up to now—from any makes an attempt to weaken it.”
The instances are Calumet Montana Refining LLC v. EPA within the U.S. Courtroom of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and San Antonio Refinery LLC v. EPA and Wynnewood Refining Co. LLC v.
