Biodiesel and Ethanol Investing

Domestic Fuel reports that a 2% biodiesel mandate beginning next year and increasing to 5% in 2013 in Massachusetts has ran into some problems because of confusion the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2). The measure has come under fire because it only allows waste-derived biodiesel, a provision put into the mandate thanks to what lawmakers thought the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency would allow under RFS2. But despite a pronouncement by the Massachusetts Oilheat Council in its recent newsletter that the requirement has had a “spell of relative silence,” some progress could be at hand.
