Bill Summary
A BILL To clarify that eRINs are not authorized for purposes of satisfying the volume of renewable fuel that needs to be contained in transportation fuel for purposes of the Renewable Fuel Program, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill prevents the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from authorizing or allowing credits called "eRINs" (electricity-based Renewable Identification Numbers) for electricity generated from renewable fuel as part of the Renewable Fuel Program. Specifically, the EPA is prohibited from generating credits for electricity from renewable fuel that would count towards meeting the required volume of renewable transportation fuel under the Clean Air Act. Additionally, the bill mandates that any eRINs already generated before the bill's enactment cannot be used or transferred. The bill defines "renewable fuel" and "transportation fuel" by referencing existing definitions in the Clean Air Act, ensuring clarity about the terms being discussed. By blocking these electricity-based fuel credits, the legislation appears aimed at restricting certain types of renewable fuel credits, potentially to limit or redefine how renewable fuel contributions are calculated and credited in the transportation sector.
