Energy Compliance
Our Energy Compliance Services practice helps businesses navigate compliance with evolving regulations.
Connect with usTransportation fuel regulations governed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Environment and Climate Change Canada and various other agencies are substantial areas of focus for our practice. We have extensive experience with traditional petroleum-based fuel programs as well as renewable fuel programs, which are rooted in the Clean Air Act, Low Carbon Fuels Standards, and other regulations and energy transition initiatives. We help companies of all sizes understand the regulatory requirements, maintain compliance, and identify and maximize benefits available under applicable programs.
We are one of the largest providers of EPA attestation services in the U.S. and one of only a few firms whose Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), RIN-tegrity®, is approved by the U.S. EPA for domestic and foreign renewable fuel producers, as well as renewable fuel importers.
