NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is coordinating with the Department of Agriculture and Department of Energy on biofuel blending requirements past 2022, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said on Tuesday.
The agency understands the requirements are of great importance to the biofuels industry, Regan said during remarks at the Growth Energy Biofuels Summit. Regan added that agriculture and the biofuels industry will play a key role in helping President Joe Biden meet climate goals, as the electric vehicle market will not be available immediately.
