RFS reallocation is unlawful, will make EPA’s most expensive reg. more costly to consumers

WASHINGTON, D.C. - American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) President and CEO Chet Thompson issued the following statement on EPA's decision to reallocate 2025 RFS regulatory relief:

"Reallocation is unlawful and serves one purpose: making an historically expensive Renewable Fuel Standard even more expensive. Rather than addressing the real challenges facing the program, EPA has chosen to shift billions of dollars in additional compliance costs onto other refiners and fuel manufacturers. Those costs do not disappear. They ripple throughout the economy as consumers pay more at the pump and businesses pay more to move goods.

"Americans need policies that promote affordability, reliability and energy security. Reallocation does the opposite."
