The Trump administration’s EPA may use partial waivers under the Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs) as part of a biofuel package, according to Reuters.
The news service previously reported that EPA ignored advice from the Department of Energy that some of those applying for SREs should get only partial waivers.
While most reports indicate the deal will be announced next week, sources have indicated that the package could be announced by President Donald Trump as early as today.
The announcement is close to what has been speculated about the package in recent weeks. Keys will be how it is accepted or rejected by both biofuel proponents and the oil industry.
An expected boost in ethanol use would begin to impact starting with the 2020-21 corn marketing year.
