Now that the EPA has denied some gap year small refinery exemptions, National Biodiesel Board’s Kurt Kovarik says he’s hopeful the administration will make similar decisions moving forward.
“They still have 14 gap SREs that their memo says they’re not taking action on because they’re still at the Department of Energy,” he says. “I would certainly hope, and the biodiesel community would certainly hope that they treat those 14-remaining gap SREs the same way they treated those 54 and simply deny them.”
He tells Brownfield the industry is also waiting on the 2021 Renewable Volume Obligations.
