National Biodiesel Board study shows huge jobs losses if RFS cut

In Washington, the National Biodiesel Board released a study saying U.S. biodiesel is supporting more than 62,000 jobs and $2.6 billion in wages this year with production on pace for a record of 1.7 billion gallons. The study, conducted by LMC International, found that employment supported by the industry would drop by almost 8,000 jobs if the EPA were to limit production to 1.28 billion gallons, the volume proposal included in a recently leaked EPA document outlining potential RFS standards next year.
