The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) is very pleased with the final rule on volume obligations for biodiesel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) released this week by EPA. Under the rule, Biomass-based Diesel volumes would grow to 1.9 billion gallons in 2016 and 2 billion gallons in 2017. The Biomass-based Diesel category – a diesel subset of the overall Advanced Biofuel category – is made up mostly of biodiesel but also includes renewable diesel, another diesel alternative made from the same feedstocks using a different technology.
NBB held a press call with CEO Joe Jobe and Vice President of Federal Affairs Anne Steckel to talk about the numbers and what it means for the biodiesel industry: Biodiesel Board call on RFS volumes
