U.S. Environmental Protection Agency The Record

چکیده
EPA’s charge from the NEPD included exploring ways to increase the flexibility in the distribution infrastructure, improve fungibility, and provide added gasoline market liquidity. In addition to looking at distribution system impacts, EPA analyzed how the various options could affect the overall supply of gasoline from refineries in the U.S. (i.e., gasoline production capacity). Analyzing the impact on gasoline production capacity is important because fuel options which significantly reduce capacity could offset some or possibly all of the benefits to the distribution system of reducing the number of fuel types. In the most extreme example, the fuel distribution system can be accommodated most completely by requiring either Federal reformulated gasoline (RFG) or California clean burning gasoline (CBG) nationwide. Either program would significantly simplify gasoline distribution, but would limit the volume of gasoline capable of being produced from today’s refineries. The analysis presented below estimates the impact of the fuel control options on gasoline production capacity, so that these impacts can be combined with other aspects of the boutique fuel issue to provide an overall assessment of potential solutions to the “boutique fuel problem”.
