BIO says EPA inaction on RFS rule causing an increase in GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 23, 2014

Increased greenhouse gas emissions equal to 4.4 million additional cars on US roads are likely as a result of EPA inaction on finalizing the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) rules, according to a new white paper issued by The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
