Flying Planes with Biofuels
By Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Not everyone knows it, but most Americans use biofuels to help power their car or truck every day. Using biofuels we produce here at home creates jobs, raises incomes for farmers, and saves us all money. The ethanol mixed into the gas we buy at the pump saved American drivers almost 90 cents per gallon last year. Moving forward, we’ll see Americans running their cars with more biofuels mixed into 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 >
Want a less abundant and more expensive food supply? Rally against biotech
As millions of Americans struggle during these tough economic times, one thing we don’t have to worry about is food.

As in any addiction, interventions are necessary to break bad habits. Fortunately, in 2007 Congress expanded the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), requiring increased production and use of renewable fuels from multiple sources. American companies are making steady progress in creating advanced plant-based fuels. Read More >
Renewable Fuel Standard: BIO Testifies to EPA
The Wall Street Journal printed a few weeks ago a severely misinformed opinion piece about the Renewable Fuel Standard. The Journal echoed remarks made by a representative of the National Petroleum Refiners Association at a recent EPA hearing on the proposed RFS rules for 2012, at which BIO also testified. NPRA claims that the RFS’s cellulosic waiver is a penalty that they have to pay for a product that doesn’t exist. However, BIO argued that Read More >
