RFA prepares for next RFS challenge

Bob Dinneen, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) says with the New Year will come a significant new challenge to the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), a challenge led by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

“The API is not to be taken lightly,” said Dinneen. “They’ve got $25 million in a war chest that they will use in legislative lobbying, in grassroots organizing, in misinformation and in an advertising campaign designed to keep people from focusing on the real issues.”

To counter, Dinneen says supporters of the RFS will need to unify and collect resources to counter.

“Fuels America is a coalition of all the biofuels trade associations, several companies like Novozymes and DuPont that have an interest in developing new technologies, coming together, pooling our resources, we will have a campaign to beat back big oils efforts,” the President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association said. “I am not going to let the success that has been the Renewable Fuels Standard to be lost without one heck of a fight.
