The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) and the national biodiesel industry

The legislation creates a minimum usage requirement for "biodiesel"
and "bio-based replacement diesel" that scales up over time from 450
million gallons in 2008 to 1.25 billion gallons in 2012.
You can find out more information about the bill by reading this fact sheet. The full legislation can be reviewed with the links below:
House version (H.R. 3781)
Senate version (S. 1616)
Congress is currently considering energy legislation, and as part of
this discussion, there is bipartisan support of efforts to expand the
Renewable Fuels Standard. Biodiesel can play a significant role in this
effort, and by creating a renewable requirement as part of the diesel
fuel consumed in the U.S. – similar to the role ethanol plays with
gasoline – is sound energy and environmental policy.
The time to act is now, please click here to send a letter to your elected officials in Washington
Sincerely,
Joe Jobe
CEO, National Biodiesel Board
