Refiners, retailers and renewable fuel groups continue to mount pressure on the EPA to reject petitions to change the compliance structure under the Renewable Fuel Standard.
A handful of refiners and investors want to shift compliance onto fuel retailers and marketers — a move that would inject massive disruption into the fuels marketplace while hurting hardworking Americans who would pay more at the pump.
Stakeholders across the transportation fuel industry agree: while it isn’t perfect, the RFS is working as intended. The current structure creates a strong incentive for blenders, retailers and marketers to blend renewable fuels into the supply chain.
