The EPA announced its biofuels rules and production targets late last year. These are part of a group of rules called ?the set.? Today The EPA heard public comments from stakeholders in the fuel and agriculture industries.
From the ethanol side of the equation, there are many relieved stakeholders that are happy to hopefully see certainty return to the marketplace for the fuel. Emily Skor is CEO of Growth Energy and she had this to say about the EPA?s proposal.
Skor outlined what she would like to see from EPA in regard to the growth of the future of the ethanol industry and how it can play part in the future goals of the agency.
She also highlighted the need to get a set plan for year-round E15 availability.
The comment period for EPA?s proposal runs for one more month and closes February 10th.
Bio Diesel supporters are not as happy with the EPA?s proposals. We will learn more on that very soon.
