It was 12 years ago that Sarah Dunham, EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality Director, spoke to the Renewable Fuels Association’s National Ethanol Conference in Orlando. EPA’s rules for the expanded Renewable Fuel Standard had just been issued and 2022 seemed like a very long time in the future.
This week, she addressed the conference again to talk about some of the latest rules that EPA has proposed regarding the RFS, including Renewable Volume Obligations for multiple years. “We understand the urgency to finalize that rule,” she said. “I know that RFA and everyone in this room very much want to get the RFS back on track to fulfill the goal of growing investments in renewable fuels and that is absolutely EPA’s goal as well.”
