RFS-2 Action Page


Fueling Action Center ::

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is a cornerstone of the biodiesel industry, and the biodiesel sector of the program has been a resounding success. The biodiesel industry has exceeded its RFS volume requirements for two consecutive years, and is on pace to do so again in 2013. In fact, the RFS played a key role in making biodiesel the first EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel to reach 1 billion gallons of annual production. This growth, and the economic and environmental benefits that come with it, will continue so long as Congress and the Administration maintain a strong RFS. Biodiesel already supports some 50,000 jobs nationwide while reducing our dependence on imported oil, strengthening our energy security and reducing harmful emissions. 
Nonetheless, critics of the RFS are increasing pressure on Congress to make ill-advised changes to the program. As an industry, we must remain engaged and vocal to defend the RFS and its benefits for the economy, the environment and U.S. energy security. Please think about how important the RFS is to the future of your business and keep in touch with your elected officials regularly to support it. To reach your members of Congress:

Meanwhile, stay tuned for further updates regarding future years' RFS volumes.
