Recently, the Energy Resources Center made headlines by saying the EPA’s shift on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) would equal adding 1 million more passenger vehicles on the road. It’s also a political lightning rod given the stagnation of fuel consumption matched with accelerating ethanol blending. The oil industry responded.

Neste Oil and SHV Energy have agreed that SHV Energy will market and sell biopropane to be produced at Neste Oil’s Rotterdam refinery. Replacing existing fossil fuels with biopropane will result in significant carbon savings. Neste Oil expects the new unit to be producing biopropane at the end of 2016. Earlier post.)

By 2050, biofuels could provide 27% of total transport fuel and contribute in particular to the replacement of diesel, kerosene and jet fuel, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). This projected use of biofuels could avoid around 2.1 gigatonnes of CO2) of emission reductions in the transport sector.

federal government has mandated that the country’s government-operated planes, trains, and automobiles run on a fuel blend partly made from corn- and soybean-based biofuels. In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. For the past decade and a half, the U.S.
