Letter to President Obama by Biofuel CEOs about RFS potential changes
A letter ( attached below) to President Obama was signed by leading advanced biofuel industry CEO’s expressing strong support for enforcement of the federal Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The CEO of Aemetis, Eric McAfee, is a strong proponent of fully implementing the RFS within the regulatory authority granted to the EPA by Congress when the RFS was signed into law in 2007. The RFS has been the most successful carbon reduction and climate change legislation in the past decade. The RFS has been relied upon by investors to allow biofuel to be sold by more than 100 new biofuels plants representing $20 billion of new investments in low-carbon fuel production facilities.
