Business Confidence with the RFS Under Attack
This week, Biofuels Digest and BIO launched the quarterly Bioenergy Business Outlook Survey. Results from the first quarter of 2012 showed that industry optimism remained high earlier in the year, even though companies still reported difficulty in raising the capital needed for ongoing research and development and construction of demonstration and commercial biorefineries. Now that the petroleum refiners have launched a multi-million dollar pr campaign against the biofuel industry, it will be interesting to take Read More >

Biofuels Digest/BIO Business Outlook Survey Shows Steady Confidence

Bioenergy, biofuel and biotech executives are invited to participate in the survey. Overall, the survey painted a picture of an industry that is expecting to grow at nearly triple the growth rate of Read More >
Petroleum Refiners Express Contempt for RFS
At the National Biodiesel Conference earlier this week, AFPM President Charles Drevna called the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) an “anachronism” and claimed that “it’s not working as intended.” Should he be believed? Congress established the RFS with steadily increasing volume mandates for cellulosic biofuels in order to open the petroleum-dominated market to alternatives and spur growth in the industry.
