Bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. House aims to cut through red tape at EPA to help boost production of cellulosic biomass into renewable fuels.
The Streamlining Advanced Biofuels Registration Act, co-authored by Illinois Democrat Cheri Bustos and Minnesota Republican Jim Hagedorn, is said to target greenhouse gas emissions and encourage low-carbon fuels.
Hagedorn says by forcing EPA to make timely decisions on the dozens of cellulosic biomass requests under the RFS, a low-carbon, renewable fuel supply that’s more environmentally friendly can be achieved.
