A coalition of more than 20 organizations and companies launched the Partnership for Electric Pathways (PEP) to work with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to secure a viable pathway for renewable electricity to get credit under EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.
“We steadfastly support EPA’s most recent proposal to effectuate the agency’s 2010 and 2014 regulations to allow for electricity derived from eligible biomass resources to qualify as RFS renewable fuel,” PEP says in a letter sent to EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Our consortium includes a range of entities involved in producing and using electricity to power electric vehicles—throughout the value chain. This coalition also includes existing RIN [renewable identification number] generators and RFS compliance entities. We share the common goals of reducing emissions, capturing waste and decarbonizing transportation while growing the American workforce.” More>>
