American biodiesel production tops 1 billion gallons

New statistics from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency showed that the biodiesel industry has cracked the 1-billion-gallon mark for the third consecutive year, with several months of production remaining.

“This is a tremendous achievement that is a testament to the hard work of the biodiesel industry and the success of the Renewable Fuel Standard as an effective policy for diversifying our fuel supplies,” said Anne Steckel, vice president of federal affairs for the National Biodiesel Board. “Biodiesel is proving that advanced biofuels are working now, and we need the Obama administration and Congress to continue this success.”
