The standard specifically requires:
•  Biomass-based diesel (1.28 billion gallons)
•  Advanced biofuels (2.75 billion gallons)
•  Cellulosic biofuels (6.00 million gallons)

The EPA action essentially waived down cellulosic biofuels from 14 million to 6 million gallons, while keeping other proposed numbers largely in place. The 1.28 billion gallons in biomass-based diesel will count as 1.92 billion ethanol-equivalent gallons towards the overall 2.75 billion gallon advanced pool. The remainder is likely to reflect primarily renewable diesel and Brazilian sugarcane ethanol.
