The American Petroleum Institute (API), an organization representing the natural gas and oil industry, recently urged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to modify a proposal for new tailpipe emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles.
“We share the goal of reduced emissions across the broader economy and, specifically, those from energy production, transportation and use by society,” Will Hupman, API vice president of downstream policy, said. “While we support technology-neutral federal policies that drive GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions reductions in the transportation sector, we are concerned that this proposal, as well as EPA’s light- and medium-duty proposed GHG rule, seriously misses the mark with respect to reducing carbon emissions from the entire transportation sector.”
