| 2012-30100 | Supplemental Determination for Renewable Fuels Produced Under the Final RFS2 Program From Grain Sorghum | Rule | EPA is issuing a supplemental rule associated with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. This final rule contains a lifecycle GHG analysis for grain sorghum ethanol and a regulatory determination that grain sorghum ethanol qualifies as a renewable fuel under the RFS Program. EPA's analysis indicates that ethanol made from grain sorghum at dry mill facilities that use natural gas for process energy meets the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reduction threshold of 20 percent compared to the baseline petroleum fuel it would replace, and therefore qualifies as renewable fuel. It also contains our regulatory determination that grain sorghum ethanol produced at dry mill facilities using specified forms of biogas for both process energy and most electricity production, has lifecycle GHG emission reductions of more than 50 percent compared to the baseline petroleum fuel it would replace, and that such grain sorghum ethanol qualifies as an advanced biofuel under the RFS Program. | 2012-12-17 | 2012 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/12/17/2012-30100/supplemental-determination-for-renewable-fuels-produced-under-the-final-rfs2-program-from-grain | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-12-17/pdf/2012-30100.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is issuing a supplemental rule associated with the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.
