National Biodiesel Board members are holding a virtual fly-in today with members of Congress. Just ahead of that the group sent a letter of policy priorities to Congressional leaders. NBB’s Paul Winters says one of their priorities is making sure biodiesel comes into consideration for achieving carbon reductions and environmental goals.

He says it’s also critical the Administration and Congress both take biodiesel into account with their infrastructure proposal.

Winters says it’s also important Congress and the Administration upheld the integrity of the RFS and push back any attempts to let oil interests off their obligations under that law.

Winters says NBB is holding 86 meetings virtually today with Senators and Representatives and their staff to talk about these issues.
