EPA sets 2012 renewable fuel standard proposal at 15.2 billion gallons

Source : green.autoblog.com

For 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is once again upping the level for how much renewable fuel the U.S. should use in the Agency's Renewable Fuel Standard program (aka RFS2). The EPA's proposed targets are: Biomass-based diesel (1.00 billion gallons; 0.91%); Advanced biofuels (2.0 billion gallons; 1.21%); Cellulosic biofuels (3.45 to 12.9 million gallons; 0.002-0.010%); Total renewable fuels (15.2 billion gallons; 9.21%). Each year, the EPA is required to establish these limits because Congress has mandated the U.S. reach a level of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel in 2022. This level was established with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). In 2009, the EPA set the total renewable fuels level at 11.1 billion gallons. For 2010, the number was 12.95 billion gallons and, in 2011, the Agency raised that target to 13.95 billion gallons. The EPA will accept comments on its proposed 2012 percentages and volumes until August 11th.
