Last weekend marked the 16th anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard, a policy that’s played a big role in decarbonizing America’s diesel fuel supply. On the heels of the anniversary, National Biodiesel Board CEO Donnell (Duh-NELL) Rehagen noted the sustainable growth of the biodiesel industry under the RFS and urged policymakers to continue supporting future growth. “The RFS has been crucial to growing the advanced biofuel industry, and it will remain essential for future decarbonization efforts around the country,” Rehagen says. “The RFS supported the sustainable growth of a three-billion-gallon market for biodiesel and renewable diesel that has cut 143.8 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the past decade. We can’t afford to lose ground now.” He also says the policy should support the continued growth of advanced biofuels as the industry strives to reach six billion gallons by 2030. The RFS drives the development of advanced biofuels that reduce carbon emissions from some of the hardest economic sectors to decarbonize.
