House Committee on Energy and Commerce democrats on March 2 introduced the Climate Leadership and Environmental Action for our Nation’s (CLEAN) Future Act, which sets a goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The bill also sets an interim target of reducing GHG pollution by 50 percent from 2005 levels by 2030.
A statement released by the committee explains the targets come from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which has said carbon pollution must be cut to net-zero by 2050 to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change. The bill presents both sector-specific and economy-wide solutions to meet those targets.

by Tyne Morgan (Ag Web) Renewable Fuels groups are celebrating an EPA win. More than a year after the 10th Circuit Court issued its initial ruling on the small-refinery provisions within the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), EPA announced Monday it’s supporting the court’s ruling. As a result, there will be tighter restrictions on issuing such waivers.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in January 2020 that Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs) can only be used as extensions for refineries that had secured them continuously each year since 2010. That standard excluded all but two refineries from consideration for future waivers.
