The President of the Renewable Fuels Association is critical of the latest attempt to let oil refiners out of ethanol blending requirements. Geoff Cooper tells Brownfield, “We know that the oil industry has been trying for the last several years to get small refinery waivers and the courts have thrown those out, so now they’re shifting their focus and they’re attempting to get all refineries waivers.”
Cooper says fifteen oil state Senators are ignoring court decisions and case law by asking EPA to waive the 2021 RFS requirements for all refiners because of the COVID-19 impact on fuel demand.
