Biofuels News

Biofuels are an important market for the United States. They contribute to energy security, reduce air pollution, and support rural economic development. The Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP) helps expand biofuel infrastructure and broadens the availability of renewable fuels such as E15, E85, B20, and B99.9. This helps American families save money at the […]

One of the marvels of modern agriculture is that certain crops can be used for both food and fuel. But using a crop as a fuel source doesn’t mean we’re necessarily taking it out of the food supply. Mac Marshall, vice president of market intelligence at the United Soybean Board, says their industry has found

Michigan soybean farmers are working to increase visibility and adoption of biodiesel with the creation of the Michigan Advanced Biofuels Coalition (MiABC). By promoting use of cleaner-burning advanced biofuels, the MiABC helps support energy security and improve air and environmental quality in our state. Learn how biobased fuels reduce emissions from diesel vehicles, vessels, and

Some types of transportation pose more challenges in the conversion to electric power than others. The marine industry is one. President Joe Biden has set an ambitious U.S. goal of achieving a net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050. While it’s not zero carbon reduction, biodiesel is an instant carbon reduction that’s available now.

U.S. Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) reintroduced the Adopt Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) Act, legislation that would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update its greenhouse gas (GHG) modeling for all renewable fuels under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Specifically, the bill would require EPA to apply the Argonne National Lab’s

The Institute for Transportation Decarbonization announced Oct. 11 a new grant to deepen understanding of the role of low-carbon liquid fuels in decarbonizing legacy on-road vehicles and reducing the climate impact of the transportation sector. ITD is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to developing a pathway to a zero-carbon transportation sector through research and engagement.

The USDA increased its forecast for 2023-’24 soybean oil use in biofuel production in its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, released Oct. 12. The estimate for 2022-’23 soybean oil use in biofuel production was also revised up. U.S. soybean production for 2023-’24 is forecast at 4.1 billion bushels, down 42 million on
