EPA Is Close to Key Decision on Biofuel Waivers for Oil Refiners

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is nearing a critical decision on biofuel waivers for oil refineries. Earlier this year, the government proposed a significant increase in biofuels mandates, which would benefit farmers but burden oil refiners. The Trump administration is now poised to make a second policy decision that could significantly impact the renewable fuels market. The biofuel waivers, which allow oil refiners to avoid blending certain amounts of biofuels into their products, have been a contentious issue. The EPA is expected to issue a decision on the waivers, which could have far-reaching consequences for the biofuels industry, farmers, and oil refiners. This decision comes amid ongoing debates over the balance between supporting renewable energy sources and protecting the interests of the oil industry.
