Renewable Fuel Standard Program | Vibepedia

The Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS) is a U.S. federal mandate requiring transportation fuels to blend increasing volumes of renewable biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it originated with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded via the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Through Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) and Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs), it drives reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while spurring innovation in advanced biofuels and cellulosic ethanol.
