A key barrier to achieving RFS2 is the high cost of producing biofuels compared to petroleum-based fuels and the large capital investments required to put billions of gallons of production capacity in place. Resolving most of the barriers is necessary to achieving RFS2, and many of them are interrelated as illustrated by the examples below.
