Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels lands $1.6 million grant from Packard Foundation

The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels received a $1.6 million grant from the Packard Foundation, that will allow for the expansion of the RSB team, and process more input from stakeholders in the development of sustainability guidelines. The RSB last year released “Version Zero” of its sustainability guidelines, which were high-level aspirational goals. The RSB will hold stakeholder meetings in the US next week in conjunction with the National Biodiesel Show.
