USDA Report Provides Regional Roadmap To Meeting the Biofuels Goals of the Renewable Fuels Standard by 2022; Southeast to Provide ~50% of Advanced Biofuels

Green Car Congress

It is important to consider both sides of the market—the production/supply side and mandate/consumption side—and how they respond to the RFS2 mandate. An additional 4 billion gallons of advanced biofuels (defined by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50%) by 2022 is also mandated. Regional contributions.
