Pro-biofuel groups are supportive of the Defend the Blend Act. The Renewable Fuels Association thanked House lawmakers for sponsoring the legislation. RFA CEO Geoff Cooper tells the Red River Farm Network he’s anxiously awaiting Renewable Volume Obligations from the EPA. “We’re told the EPA forwarded those proposals to the White House and that’s where it’s being held up currently. It’s creating uncertainty in the marketplace, especially looking at 2022. It can’t come soon enough and we are concerned about some of the recent things we’ve heard from the EPA.” Before Thanksgiving, the EPA proposed a rule to further delay certain RFS compliance rates. The biofuels industry is waiting on 2019, 2020 and 2021 RVOs.
