The Environmental Protection Agency has extended the compliance deadline and final rulemaking process for the Renewable Fuel Standard.
The agency says this will ensure refiners are able to meet RFS obligations after the details for the compliance year have been released.
Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper says the announcement is disappointing and it adds uncertainty and instability around the RFS.
EPA is extending the deadline for small refiners for the 2019 compliance year, and for all parties for 2020 through 2022.
