The U.S. EPA on June 18 released updated small refinery exemption (SRE) data that shows small refiners have filed 52 “gap year†SRE petitions for Renewable Fuel Standard compliance years 2011 through 2018 in an effort to circumvent the Tenth Circuit Court’s January ruling. That ruling, handed down by the court on Jan. 24, struck down three SREs approved by the EPA and determined that the agency cannot extend exemptions to any small refinery whose earlier, temporary exemptions had lapsed.
