# Biofuels and Big Oil make their case on RFS before 2022 | 2019-02-05 | Agri-Pulse | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> Agri-Pulse reports that the RFS's annual biofuel blending targets end after 2022, leaving EPA to set renewable volume obligations, and that the reset rule for 2020-2022 gives EPA authority to adjust total renewable fuel targets.
