AFPM Senior Director of Fuels and Vehicle Policy, Patrick Kelly, testified during the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) public hearing on the proposed Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) “Set” Rule. EPA’s proposal will stifle advanced biofuels, promote first generation biofuels beyond the market’s ability to absorb them and shift overall RFS growth away from liquid biofuels and into the power electricity sector. This is completely contrary to how congress envisioned EPA’s handling of the program.
Moving the needle on plastic waste is no small feat, but petrochemical manufacturers are revolutionizing what’s possible. Advanced recycling technologies utilize advanced processes that break plastic waste all the way down to its original chemical components - expanding the types of plastics that can be recycled, and creating a higher-quality feedstock.
