Renewable Fuel Standard

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is a U.S. law that requires a certain amount of renewable fuels, like bioethanol and biodiesel, to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease reliance on fossil fuels, and promote cleaner energy sources. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the program, setting annual targets for renewable fuel usage. This helps support energy diversity, stimulates the renewable energy market, and encourages innovation in fuel technologies, ultimately contributing to environmental sustainability.
