EPA brings good news to National Biodiesel Conference

The EPA provided a briefing on biodiesel’s role in the future of renewable fuels during the National Biodiesel Conference this week in Dallas, Tex.. The briefing was also about EPA’s recently introduced final RFS2 rule.

What the EPA had to say is considered to be welcome news concerning biodiesel as a renewable fuel, according to Manning Feraci, vice-president of federal affairs for the National Biodiesel Board.

“You’re going to get a greater penetration of biodiesel into the marketplace, which is obviously a good thing, from the perspective of environmentally, you’re going to have reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with using the fuel, there’s obviously the energy security angle on this in that we’re going to be displacing petroleum with biodiesel,” Feraci told Brownfield this week during the conference, “and these are all good policy outcomes.”

EPA discussion during three conference sessions focused on how biodiesel is classified as an “advanced biofuel,” as well as an explanation of the RFS2 rule and how it will impact the US biodiesel industry moving forward.
