Happy Wednesday!
Did anyone see The Houston Chronicle’s
Business Section on Monday, June 26, 2023, reprint of the
article from the Associated Press titled, “EPA boosts use of biofuels
but hold steady for ethanol”? In the
article, it speaks about how on Wednesday, June 21st, 2023, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the renewable fuel standards
which are the amounts of either biofuels or ethanol to be mixed into fuel
supplies for the time period of 2023 to 2025 and our further reduction of
reliance on foreign oil. Over the next
three years, the amounts of low-carbon biofuels will increase in the blend with
traditional gasoline and diesel. Ethanol
amounts were not increased. If you would
