The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) renewable volume obligations (RVOs) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide percentage standards applied to the initial mandated forecast at that time of release.

The original RVO forecast called for 21.54 billion gallons of renewable fuel to be blended into the United States transportation fuel pool.
