EPA has forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review a proposed rule regarding canola oil pathways for renewable diesel, jet fuel, naptha and liquid propane gas under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Under the proposed rule, EPA said it was “providing an opportunity to comment on an analysis of the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with certain biofuels that are produced from canola/rapeseed oil, specifically diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, naphtha, and liquefied petroleum gas produced from canola/rapeseed oil via a hydrotreating process.”
EPA targeted release of the proposed rule yet this month and a final rule in July, according to the unified regulatory agenda released in December 2021.
