EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler says his agency is working on the 2021 RVOs—Renewable Volume Obligations—for biofuels.
“This has been a very unusual year as far as the vehicle miles traveled. The driving has been down. The COVID response has had a negative impact on both the corn growers as well as the refiners,” Wheeler says. “We have ongoing conversations with both USDA and the Department of Energy, and we hope to have the RVOs out as soon as we can.”
EPA is tasked, under the RFS, with setting the volume requirements by November 30th of each year.
