In testimony before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. rendering industry and the California Advanced Biofuels Alliance called for a higher Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) volume to increase production of environmentally-friendly biodiesel and renewable diesel.
EPA gathered comments at a public hearing in Ypsilanti, Michigan about its recent proposal that would flat line RFS volume for biomass-based diesel in 2021. Biomass-based diesel includes both biodiesel and renewable diesel.
