"A U.S. court decision last week striking down three biofuel waivers that the Environmental Protection Agency gave oil refineries in 2017 has cast doubt on the legitimacy of dozens of other EPA exemptions granted under similar circumstances, according to industry experts and agency data.

“The potential ramifications are huge,” said James Stock, an economist and professor at Harvard University who has researched biofuel policy."
