NWRA, RNG COALITION Among Groups Pushing Back on RFS Proposal
The RNG Coalition and National Waste & Recycling Association submitted joint comments to the U.S. EPA pushing back on the smaller incentive it proposed for fuels like renewable natural gas in its latest Renewable Fuel Standard proposal.
The proposal, which EPA released in June, would set targets for low-carbon fuels through 2027 with a much bolder goal for biodiesel and crop-based biofuels than cellulosic biofuels like RNG. The agency argued tepid transportation demand for RNG and lower-than-expected production of the fuel meant it needed to lower expectations for cellulosic biofuels.
