Even as President-elect Joe Biden pushes for electric vehicles, the biofuel industry argues he can also make progress on his climate goals by expanding biofuel usage mandates, embracing a low carbon fuel policy and increasing vehicle emissions standards.

Ethanol, corn, and biodiesel groups worry the Environmental Protection Agency will punt finalizing blending targets for the Renewable Fuel Standard to the new administration, which could delay action in a year of massive uncertainty.

The Environmental Protection Agency has granted 31 small refinery exemptions from the 2018 Renewable Fuel Standard compliance year, a move that immediately angered the biofuel industry.

President Donald Trump delivered welcome news to supporters of the Renewable Fuel Standard on Thursday, confirming that the administration is seriously considering a waiver for year-round E15 sales.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt says emissions goals for cars and light trucks set by the Obama administration are too aggressive and need to be revised.
