Today, the Environmental Protection Agency published a proposed rule on the treatment of small refinery exemptions for compliance years 2023–2025. The rule offers two options for reallocation: 100% or 50% of exempted renewable fuel volumes. The American Soybean Association strongly supports 100% reallocation to uphold the integrity of the Renewable Fuel Standard.
“ASA appreciates EPA taking the next step to address small refinery exemptions,” said Caleb Ragland, ASA President and soybean farmer from Magnolia, Kentucky. “We encourage EPA to fully reallocate waived volumes to ensure the Renewable Fuel Standard works as Congress intended and provides certainty for farmers and biofuel producers.”
