Trump freezes EPA rules including 2017 RFS blending levels

January 25, 2017 |

In Washington, President Donald Trump has frozen all policies from the Environmental Protection Agency published since October 28 and ordered a review of them, including the 2017 blending mandates for the Renewable Fuel Standard. Doing so has forced down RIN prices by 23% as of Wednesday. The order was issued on his first day of office but wasn’t released until Tuesday. The effective date for the blending mandates have been pushed until at least March 20 but that could be pushed back further, especially if the administration winds the blending levels back towards current gasoline consumption.
