EPA Proposes 2011 Renewable Fuel Standards Under Clean Air Act

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed 2011 renewable fuel standards under the Clean Air Act, which are set annually in November based on projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The proposed standards cover cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuels, and include two changes to the RFS2 regulations, including a provision for delayed RINs for certain renewable fuel producers.
