National Biodiesel Board members wrapped up their conference in San Diego last week. They’re now moving ahead to push for a permanent biodiesel tax credit, for resolution to a South American trade dispute and support for the Renewable Fuel Standard. NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen says their members are excited about how the industry is growing and are committed to those priority measures.

He says the U.S. came out on top regarding an anti-dumping charge against Argentina and Venezuela and are now challenging their appeal of that decision.

Rehagen says their goal this year on the domestic front is convincing Congress to give them a long term biodiesel tax credit.

Rehagen says they also want to work with the EPA to make improvements in the RFS that would benefit biodiesel producers and farmers.
