Congressmen introduce bill to promote advanced biofuel production

In Washington, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (IL-17) and Congressman Jim Hagedorn (MN-01) introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation that would lower greenhouse gas emissions and encourage low-carbon fuel production. The Streamlining Advanced Biofuels Registration Act would help biofuels plants cut through red tape in order to increase production of cellulosic biomass into renewable fuels.

Senators John Thune and Jeanne Shaheen carry the legislation in the Senate.

The legislation was welcomed by POET, the Advanced Biofuels Business Council, Growth Energy, the Biomass Power Association and the ABC.
