The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to release Renewable Fuel Standard volume levels this week, maybe as early as Monday. Nebraska Ethanol Board Administrator Todd Sneller is hoping the agency raises the renewable fuels mandate levels to the statutory requirements.

Sneller says factors that may push the EPA to raise the volume levels involve recent low gas prices and increased consumer demand.

The EPA is required as a result of a court ruling to release the RFS volume obligations for 2014, 2015 and 2016 this week.
