This book was released on 2009 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing revisions to the National Renewable Fuel Standard program (commonly known as the RFS program). Today's proposed rule intends to address changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard program as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The revised statutory requirements establish new specific volume standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that must be used in transportation fuel each year. The revised statutory requirements also include new definitions and criteria for both renewable fuels and the feedstocks used to produce them, including new greenhouse gas emission (GHG) thresholds for renewable fuels. The regulatory requirements for RFS will apply to domestic and foreign producers and importers of renewable fuel.

Book excerpt: This report focuses specifically on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). It describes the general nature of the biofuels RFS and its implementation, and outlines some of the emerging issues related to the sustainability of the continued growth in U.S. biofuels production needed to fulfill the expanding RFS mandate, as well as the emergence of potential unintended consequences of this rapid expansion. This report does not address the broader public policy issue of how best to support U.S. energy policy.

Download or read book Options for Reforming the Renewable Fuel Standard written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time since the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) was first passed into law in 2005 and later expanded in 2007, domestic biofuels production has risen and renewable fuels have increased as a percentage of the total U.S. transportation fuels supply. At the same time, persistent challenges in courts and in the implementation of enacted laws, as well as significant changes in the U.S. energy production landscape, have kept the RFS at the forefront of energy policy discussions. The Environmental Protection Agency's additional delay of the 2014 rule and the associated compliance volumes is a further indicator that improvements to the RFS are needed. However, experience with the program has not led to a consensus on what, if anything, should be done. The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) chose to explore a middle ground where we think tangible progress can be made to reform, but not repeal, the RFS. Specifically, in order to support constructive dialogue in this ongoing debate, BPC's Energy Project convened an advisory group of diverse stakeholders who agreed to discuss legislative and/or regulatory reforms that could put the RFS on a stable footing. The advisory group met three times over the course of 2014, and their discussions, deliberations, agreements, and disagreements informed the creation of 40 policy options to improve the RFS. Although these options do not represent the consensus of the advisory group, they are intended as a first step in exploring the ways in which constructive reforms could create a more robust and effective RFS program.

[...] Congressional Research Service 5 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS): Overview and Issues Waivers The EPA Administrator has the authority to waive the RFS requirements, in whole or in part, if, in her determination, there is inadequate domestic supply to meet the mandate, or if "implementation of the requirement would severely harm the economy or environment of a State, a region, or the United States."1 [...] Implementation of the RFS The EPA is responsible for revising and implementing regulations to ensure that the national transportation fuel supply sold in the United States during a given year contains the mandated volume of renewable fuel in accordance with the four nested volume mandates of the RFS2.23 To facilitate meeting the blending requirements, while taking into consideration regional diffe.

Book excerpt: In 2008 the governor of Texas requested a waiver of the RFS because of high grain prices, although that waiver request was denied because EPA determined that the RFS requirements alone did not "severely harm the economy of a State, a region, or the United States," a standard required by the statute. [...] Under the provisions of EPAct and EISA, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to waive the RFS requirements in whole or in part, in response to a petition by a state or a fuel provider, or on her own motion. [...] In August 2008 EPA denied the waiver request because the agency found that the effects of the RFS on food, feed, and fuel prices was minimal, and thus the economic effects of the RFS "could not be categorized as severe."2 Within the overall RFS there are secondary mandates for the use of cellulosic biofuels, biomass- based diesel fuels, and other advanced biofuels. [...] Waiver Provisions As amended by EISA, section 211(o)(7) of the Clean Air Act5 gives the EPA administrator the authority to waive, in whole or in part, the total volume of renewable fuel mandated by the RFS if, in her determination, there is inadequate domestic supply to meet the mandate, or if "implementation of the requirement would severely harm the economy or environment of a State, a region, o [...] Congressional Research Service 2 Waiver Authority Under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) • implementation of the requirement would severely harm the economy or environment of a State, a region, or the United States.
