Renewable Fuels Association president and CEO Geoff Cooper, in a wide-ranging press call, slammed the EPA’s tailpipe emissions rule and delays in issuing 45Z tax credit rules.
Cooper’s group joined other ag-related groups in suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its stringent tailpipe emission rule and isn’t buying the agency’s denial the rule is a “mandate.”
Thereby, forcing two-thirds of new-light duty vehicle sales to be EVs by 2032.
Cooper says RFA’s members are still waiting for Treasury rules and guidance on 45Z tax credits due next year and crucial for the success of sustainable aviation fuel.
Cooper is confident the 45Z final rules will unbundle and expand climate-smart practices and fertilizer use.
