      Renewable Fuel Standard Program: Standards for 2017 and Biomass-Based Diesel Volume for 2018

> The EPA published its final Renewable Fuel Standard rule setting 2017 annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel and total renewable fuel, and the 2018 biomass-based diesel volume. The rule was published in the Federal Register on December 12, 2016.
