U.S. EPA Shortly to Announce Judgment on Small Refinery Biofuel Waivers

The EPA has accumulated a backlog of more than 60 requests for so-called Small Refinery Exemptions, which are sought by refineries that argue the cost of blending biofuels such as ethanol into their fuel could drive them out of business, following a 2020 court decision that narrowed the criteria for qualifying for the relief.


The EPA proposed in December to reject 65 outstanding SRE applications. According to the EPA's website, the agency currently has 69 outstanding SRE petitions.


According to the sources, the EPA is on the verge of announcing a decision on some or all of the outstanding SREs as soon as Thursday. It was unknown if the agency's conclusion would be consistent with the December suggestion.


The agency did not respond to a request for comment.


The EPA under former President Donald Trump significantly boosted such exemptions to refiners, infuriating biofuel producers who said the administration was misusing the program to benefit its oil business cronies at the cost of farmers. The EPA under Trump's administration refuted the assertion.


Oil refineries must either mix billions of gallons of corn-based ethanol and other fuels into the fuel pool or acquire credits from those that do. The initiative aims to assist farmers while also reducing fuel imports.
