BIO urges Florida Governor to veto state RFS repeal

In Florida, BIO responded to efforts in the state legislature to repeal Florida’s Renewable Fuel Standard, urging Gov. Rick Scott to veto the bill. HB 4001/SB 320 is expected to pass next week. “Unfortunately the legislation repealing Florida’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) will lead to uncertainty about the state’s continued support of developing advanced biofuels and put future partnerships at risk” BIO wrote. “This bill sends a message to the commercial scale advanced biofuel projects that have invested over $215 million in Florida and generated nearly 1000 high skill new jobs in the state.”
