The United States is home to the world’s largest biofuel program. In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. The RFS, in essence, mandated that the blend powering engines in the nation’s official service vehicles run on a certain amount of renewable fuel.
