Senators Ask for RFS-2 Implementation

Immediate action on biodiesel provisions requested.

Compiled by staff

Published: Aug 11, 2009

A letter sent to President Barack Obama and signed by 26 U.S. Senators last Friday, contained a request asking for immediate action on the biomass-based diesel provisions of the Renewable Fuels Standard. The Senators wrote that given the significant delays associated with RFS-2 implementation, the precarious state of the U.S. biodiesel industry, and the volume goals established by statute for biomass-based diesel, they believe this matter must be addressed immediately.

The letter also stated that implementation of the RFS-2 has been delayed for months and is causing uncertainty and harm to biodiesel plants that made significant investments based on the new volume goals in the RFS-2. To ensure efforts to promote homegrown biodiesel succeed, President Obama needs to take action and implement the specific biomass-based diesel mandate.
