The ASA is sounding the alarm over reports that small refinery exemptions for the 2025 RFS compliance year could far exceed previous government projections, delivering a major blow to domestic biofuel demand.
The U.S. EPA on Aug. 20 published updated Renewable Fuel Standard data, reporting that four new small refinery exemption (SRE) petitions were filed under the program during the past month. A total of 40 SRE petitions are now pending.
The U.K. Environment Agency on Aug. 14 formally granted Drax Power Ltd. a permit change that will allow carbon capture to be implemented at Drax Power Station. Drax first applied for the permit variation in May 2023.
The European Commission on July 30 approved a EUR 290 million ($338.61 million) Dutch state aid package to support sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The two approved support schemes aim to boost SAF supply and demand.
The NCGA filed comments with the Office of Management and Budget encouraging the agency to reconsider updates recommended by one of its committees to more directly capture the economic impact of the emerging bioeconomy.
