The US will fall short of the Renewable Fuels Standard, the government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) warns.
The country will only blend about 30 billion gallons of fuels like corn-based ethanol and advanced fuels into petrol by 2022, 17% short of the US mandate of 36 billion gallons by that year, the EIA forecasts.
‘The key risk factor is the rate of development of cellulosic…
