NPRA Workshop: Refinery Clean Fuels Regulations and Compliance “101”
NPRA Environmental Conferences have traditionally included a Sunday workshop that focuses on a timely issue for NPRA members. This year’s workshop provides environmental professionals with a primer on fuels policy. The workshop will provide refinery environmental professionals with a broad overview of clean fuels history, regulations, and the key issues involved in maintaining compliance and put a particular emphasis on the new RFS2 rule. Clean fuels programs have their own language and compliance structure. This workshop is geared to explain the basic clean fuels concepts for those not responsible for day-to-day compliance.
