Ethanol Board Chairman Roger Berry says the Renewable Fuel Standard is important
to his state’s economy, environment, farmers, renewable fuel producers, customers,
and rural communities.
Berry says the RFS law as written creates a careful market balance, but only when the EPA takes care to implement the law as intended. “We have seen since 2017 the devastation that occurs to renewable fuels stakeholders including Nebraska’s farmers and biofuel producers when the RFS is implemented in a way that tells obligated parties that the final RVO’s set for the following year are actually retroactively able to be reduced by small refineries.”
Berry testified at an EPA hearing in Michigan Wednesday for the proposed rule for ethanol and biodiesel blending under the RFS.
