A new study shows feedstocks produced within the U.S. are on track to support domestic production of an additional 1.4 billion gallons of renewable diesel and biodiesel, also known as biomass-based or biobased diesel (BBD), by 2030. Commissioned by the National Oilseed Processors Association and conducted by S&P Global Commodity Insights, the report verified that
In the race to mitigate climate change, the timing of our actions is critical. Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goals for 2050 are prevalent in mainstream conversations, but conversations about what needs to be done in the interim are more muted. The scientific consensus is not just about net-zero by 2050; annual global emissions must peak before 2025.
