The head of the Renewable Fuels Association says a recent report examining the EPA’s decision-making on small refinery exemptions favors oil refiners.
In 2019, bipartisan members of the House Biofuels Caucus asked the Government Accountability Office to conduct a formal investigation into the process behind granting SRE waivers.
RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper says the report is fundamentally flawed.
“GAO used some pretty creative math and statistical analysis to suggest that small refineries somehow pay more for RFS credits than bigger refineries do,” Cooper said.
