RENEWABLE FUELS ASSN SEEKS TO INTERVENE IN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP'S LEGAL ATTACK ON RFS
Oct. 6, 2022

Stressing the importance of upholding a strong Renewable Fuel Standard, the Renewable Fuels Association late last week filed a motion to intervene on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a suit brought against the agency by the Center for Biological Diversity.
The environmental organization's suit seeks a court review of EPA's renewable volume obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard for compliance years 2020 through 2022, and RFA is seeking to intervene on behalf of EPA, "to protect its substantial interest in the integrity of the Renewable Fuel Standard program and the investments RFA's members have made in renewable fuels to support the program," the motion states.
"After years of mismanagement and setbacks by previous administrations, the Biden administration's EPA has been moving in the right direction on the Renewable Fuel Standard," said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper.
"But now, an extreme environmental activist group is trying to derail that progress and success. We are seeking to intervene in this case to ensure EPA can continue its work to put the RFS back on track and restore integrity to the program. We will do all we can to make sure the law and Congress's intent are upheld."
