According to a recent statement by Michael Regan, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the Renewable fuel Standard will be released by mid-November. This is a departure from previous years in which EPA was unable to provide a RFS value within the period designated by Congress.
In June the EPA approved renewable volumes for refiners covering the 2020-2022 cycle. For 2022, the RVO was set at 20.6 billion gallons based on 15.0 billion gallons of corn ethanol.
The EPA should soon issue a decision on a request by eight Midwest states to market E15 blend year-round. During the summer of 2022 sale of E15 was allowed through emergency waiver.
