About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will examine the evolving legal and policy framework shaping U.S. biofuels markets. The panel will analyze and update on EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) "Set Rule" litigation, regional year-round E15 and implementation challenges, California's amended Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), and the new §45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit guidance and open issues.

Description

Attendees will gain practical insight into how legal, policy, and regulatory changes may impact the market and how counsel may advise clients on infrastructure considerations, finance, and tax strategies as a result. The panel will discuss how federal initiatives may shape how widely biofuels are used and adopted, along with the market or legal barriers that could slow progress. 

Listen as our panel provides updates on market drivers, deal and document best practices and takeaways, and preparing clients for the shifting renewable fuels landscape.
