What American Petroleum Institute filed (1)

Feb 2, 2015· Comment submitted by Tim Hogan, Director, Motor Fuels, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufactures (AFPM) and Patrick Kelly, Senior Policy Advisor, Downstream, American Petroleum Institute (API)· EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0537-0030

Attached are the joint comments of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and the American Petroleum Institute (API) on lifecycle GHG emissions for renewable fuels produced from biomass sorghum.

Abstract

In this Notice, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting comment on its preliminary analysis of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions attributable to the growth and transport of biomass sorghum feedstock for use in making biofuels such as ethanol or diesel. This notice explains EPA’s analysis of the growth and transport components of the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from biomass sorghum, and describes how EPA may apply this analysis in the future to determine whether biofuels produced from such biomass sorghum meet the necessary GHG reductions required for qualification under the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) program. Based on this analysis, we anticipate that biofuels produced from biomass sorghum could qualify for cellulosic biofuel renewable identification numbers (RINs) if certain fuel production process technology conditions are met.
