The expansion of the RFS in 2007 goes far beyond just replacing MTBE with ethanol as the required fuel oxygenate (and avoiding lawsuits ). It’s an easy concept: every fuel option receives a CI score and each year, fuel sellers must sell a fuel blend that matches that year’s carbon intensity requirement. The oil industry responded.
