EPA working with ICAO to regulate GHG emissions in aviation

In Washington, the EPA announced it is working with the International Civil Aviation Organization to develop regulations for the greenhouse gas emissions from aviation. The agency will hold a public hearing on the issue on Aug. 11 and will open a 60-day public comment period. A new standard could only be ready as soon as 2017 with implementation for 2018. Already companies such as Amyris, Gevo, REG and Solazyme are being targeted as winners from the policy move.
