EPA OK's camelina as advanced biofuels feedstock

In Washington, the EPA has published a proposed direct final rule allowing camelina as a feedstock for advanced biofuels.

The rule describes EPA’s evaluation of biofuels produced from camelina oil, energy cane, giant reed, and napiergrass; it also includes an evaluation of renewable gasoline and renewable gasoline blendstocks, as well as biodiesel from esterification, and clarifies the EPA’s definition of renewable diesel.
