AFREC positions our members to benefit from government regulations and corporate initiatives.
NEW SALES FROM GOVERNMENT MANDATES
The Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a requirement that a small but growing minimum percentage of the nation's power supply portfolio come from renewable sources like wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy. With RPS, many renewable energies will be able to compete in an increasingly competitive energy market focused on producing power at the lowest direct cost.
RPS is designed to deliver renewable energies that are most ready for the market. RPS establishes a viable market for the long-term development of renewable energy industries, creating jobs and providing domestic export opportunities.
Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS2): Final Rule (signed February 3, 2010)
EPA is finalizing changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard program, as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, to ensure that transportation fuel sold in the United State contains a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The new requirements increase the volume of renewable fuel required to be blended into transportation fuel to 36 billion gallons by 2022. The rule was developed in collaboration with refiners, renewable fuel producers, and many other stakeholders.
