New EPA Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2)

EPA issued a final rule earlier this week.  Until Federal Register publication, text can viewed at:  http://tinyurl.com/yb8pfmv Includes links to response to comments and final Regulatory Impact Analysis.  Among the important changes are a revised GHG Lifecycle Analysis for dry mill corn ethanol which gives it a passing grade (20% reduction threshold).  The final list of approved feedstocks has been modified and should be studied carefully.  Anything not on the list is only eligible for RIN credit after successful petition to EPA.
