Honoring George Washington Carver’s Contributions to Today’s Bioeconomy
As we celebrate Black History Month, we should take time to recognize the contributions made by George Washington Carver and understand their relevance to today’s development of the bioeconomy.

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?

Despite the resistance to innovation from the petroleum refiners, that purpose in not an anachronism. Moreover, Read More >

EPA Maintains Consistent Implementation of the Renewable Fuel Standard
The EPA on January 9 issued the final rule for the 2012 Renewable Fuel Standard, calling for production and use of 15.2 billion gallons of renewable fuel, representing just over 9 percent of the total fuel market. The renewable fuel total includes 2 billion gallons of advanced biofuel, with at least 8.65 million gallons of cellulosic biofuel. Importantly, EPA’s 2012 rule maintains a course –consistent with the 2010 and 2011 rules – that continues to Read More >
Bioenergy Business Outlook Survey Measures Industry Confidence
Biofuels Digests’ Bioenergy Business Outlook Survey, co-sponsored by BIO, is a quarterly indicator of business confidence, financial outlook and growth intentions. The results of the survey provide valuable insight into the mood of leaders in the bioenergy industry. More than a third of respondents each quarter identify themselves as chief executive or owner of their business. Nearly two-thirds of respondents identify themselves as directly involved in bioenergy production, either as producers, investors, business partners or Read More >
