The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a reduction in the cellulosic biofuel and total renewable fuel standards (RFS) for 2014. Specifically, EPA is proposing a total renewable fuel target of 15.21 EPA is proposing to maintain the biomass-based diesel standard for 2014 and 2015 at the 2013 level of 1.28

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a proposed rule setting the minimum amount of renewable fuels that must be supplied to the market in calendar year 2018 under the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) program. The biomass-based diesel standard for 2019 would be maintained at the 2018 levels of 2.1 billion gallons.

Four separate percentage standards are required under the RFS program: cellulosic biofuel; biomass-based diesel; advanced biofuel; and total renewable fuels. Cellulosic biofuel and biomass-based diesel categories are nested within advanced biofuel, which is itself nested within the total renewable fuel category.

Earlier Bloomberg New Energy Finance analysis showed that, with gasoline at $2.09 per gallon, EV penetration in the US could reach 6% of the light-duty vehicle fleet by 2020, whereas with gasoline at $3.34, the EV share could be 9%. While diesel and oil-based power is still uneconomic at $60/barrel, the pressure to switch is reduced.
