The renewable fuels industry is expressing frustration with the EPA’s proposal to make additional cuts to biodiesel in the Renewable Fuel Standard.
Monte Shaw of Iowa Renewable Fuels Association warns it could have a “ripple effect” on the federal ethanol mandate.
“The president says: ‘I support renewable fuels. I want them to be part of our “America First” energy plan,’ and then you have an EPA that is doing everything in its power to come up with convoluted pretzel logic to lower the numbers and to rip the heart out of the RFS,” Shaw says.
