“The 11th Circuit validated what we already knew: EPA’s denials of these SRE petitions were ‘nationally applicable’ and have nationwide effect, and challenges to the denials should only have been brought in the D.C. Circuit. Every time refiners seek to take RFS gallons out of the marketplace, that potentially impacts the entire renewable fuels market, no matter where those gallons are blended. The 11th Circuit rightly removed itself from reviewing these challenges and avoided contributing to a potential patchwork of inconsistent standards. We welcome this decision and hope it has an impact on other cases still pending before other courts.”
