EPA approves renewable fuel pathway for Andersons ethanol facility

November 18, 2018 |

In Indiana, Andersons Clymers Ethanol LLC received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a pathway for the generation of renewable fuel Renewable Identification Numbers under the renewable fuel standard program for the production of non-grandfathered ethanol. The ethanol is produced through a dry mill process at Andersons’s production facility located in Logansport, Indiana using com starch as feedstock (the “Andersons Clymers Process”).

Andersons submitted data to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to perform a lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis of the fuel produced through the Andersons Clymers Process. “Based on our assessment, fuel produced through the Andersons Clymers Process qualifies under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for renewable fuel (D-code 6) RINs, assuming the fuel meets the conditions and associated regulatory provisions discussed in the attached document, and the other definitional criteria for renewable fuel (e.g., production from renewable biomass, and used to reduce or replace petroleum based transportation fuel, heating oil or jet fuel) specified in the CAA and EPA implementing regulations. This approval applies specifically to the Andersons Clymers facility, and to the process, materials used, fuel produced, and process energy sources as outlined and described in the petition request submitted by Andersons.
