Acting EPA administrator to continue on Pruitt’s path with RFS reform

In Washington, Reuters reports that the acting administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency will continue with reforms of the Renewable Fuel Standard unpopular with the biofuel industry including RIN generation from ethanol exports. He said he was open to some of the changes sought by the biofuels industry but will require compromise as well. Year-round E15 is still on the table, however, as well as assigning greater RIN compliance to some refiners in exchange for those waived for smaller refiners.
