(NAFB.com) – Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, commended the Environmental Protection Agency after it announced that it would reconsider its Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for model years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles, otherwise known as the tailpipe emissions rule. “We’re glad to see the agency reconsidering this rule, which arbitrarily puts its thumb on the scale for a single vehicle technology instead of embracing homegrown renewable fuels,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “We look forward to working with EPA as they restructure these standards in a way that achieves the agency’s environmental and economic goals by maximizing the use of American biofuels.” Growth Energy previously submitted comments and an amicus brief objecting to the tailpipe emissions rule. As GE said in the brief, the benefits of biofuels are readily available right now, all while “enhancing energy security and supporting U.S. jobs,” and called the Biden rule a “missed opportunity.”
