WASHINGTON, D.C. — American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) President and CEO Chet Thompson today issued the following statement on EPA’s announcement of a supplemental proposal to reallocate regulatory obligations from past and future years as part of the 2026-2027 Renewable Fuel Standard:
“Consider EPA’s announcement a multi-billion dollar-addendum to its already-historic $70 billion-per-year RFS proposal. Make no mistake, reallocation is a mandate for more imports and higher prices for consumers. Americans and U.S. refiners should not have to pay for this nonsense.” – Chet Thompson, AFPM President and CEO
