Biodiesel and Ethanol Investing

Midwest AGnet reports that the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) has criticized the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) about the implementation of the Renewable Fuel Standard. NBB public affairs head Manning Feraci said that the EISA Act required the EPA to conduct a lifecycle analysis of biofuels as part of the Renewable Fuel Standard’s implementation, but said that “This does not require the EPA to rely on faulty data and unrealistic scenarios that punish the U.S. biodiesel industry for wholly unrelated land use decisions in South America.” Faraci’s comments came as a flock of biofuels friends and foes descended on the EPA for a day of public hearings.
