EPA updates rules for renewable fuels in U.S. fuel supplies for 2023 to 2025.

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 like to read more of the reprinted article from the Associated Press, please click the link: EPA boosts use of biofuels but holds steady for corn-based ethanol production | APNews.
