EPA approved a hardship waiver for Chevron’s oil Utah refinery earlier this year

In Washington, Reuters reports that the Environmental Protection Agency approved a hardship waiver for Chevron’s oil refinery in Utah earlier this year, despite the fact that the company had a net income of $9.7 billion in 2017. The company applied for the waiver in 2017 as well. Chevron is the largest company to have so far been awarded a hardship waiver to avoid complying with RIN obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard but other oil majors such as Marathon have also been awarded waivers.
