Growth Energy officials are pleased Senate Democrats have included several biofuel provisions in their budget reconciliation bill. Growth Energy’s Vice President of Government Affairs John Fuher says while the jury is still out on the reconciliation bill, what’s positive is all the backing seen for biofuels and recognizing their positive impact on reducing carbon emissions.
He says to meet the administration’s goals of battling climate change will take more than one solution to achieve that including reducing carbon emissions by more than just putting out electric vehicles.
Fuher says while it may be difficult to find bi-partisan backing for the reconciliation bill, there’s quite a bit of bi-partisan backing for biofuel initiatives.
The Biofuel Infrastructure and Agricultural Market Expansion Act, the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, The Clean Fuels Vehicle Act,, the Biodiesel Tax Credit Extension Act and Second Generation Biofuel Act are all included in the budget package.
