Renewable Fuels Association officials are not surprised oil industry groups are looking at suing EPA over their delay in getting out the 2015 RFS volumes. RFA Senior Vice President Geoff Cooper doesn’t think the American Petroleum Institute or American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers will be successful in their litigation attempts against the agency.
Cooper says if the oil groups file a lawsuit and win, that shouldn’t create any adverse impacts for renewable fuel organizations.
The oil groups contend EPA should have finalized the 2015 renewable fuel standard volume requirements by November 30th.
