In 2010, EPA established a process for companies to petition for new fuels pathways to qualify for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. A fuel pathway is a specific combination of three components: (1) feedstock, (2) production process and (3) fuel type. Assessment of lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is necessary to determine which fuel pathways can qualify.
