RTK "The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new rules for the Renewable Fuel Standard, the nation’s primary biofuels program, got a favorable review from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). The science group praised the agency for a transparent process that produced accurate lifecycle heat-trapping emissions accounting for biofuels by including so-called “indirect land use emissions.” The new rules demonstrate that advanced and cellulosic biofuels deliver substantially greater pollution reductions than today’s biofuels, such as corn ethanol."
“Rentech is pleased that the new rules implementing the RFS2 establish a regulatory framework through which the market can properly value fuels produced using the Rentech Process. By rewarding fuels based on carbon intensity, we believe the EPA standard will allow Rentech’s fuels to be judged very favorably in comparison to both first generation and advanced biofuels.” – Hunt Ramsbottom, President and CEO, Rentech, Inc.
