EPA Puts Numbers to Renewable Fuels Strategy
May 12, 2009
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed its strategy for increasing the supply of renewable fuels, poised to reach 36 billion gallons by 2022, as mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA).

Increasing renewable fuels will reduce dependence of foreign oil by more than 297 million barrels a year and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions by an average of 160 million tons a year when fully phased in by 2022. EISA will establish four categories of renewable fuels—cellulosic, biomass-based, advanced, and total renewable.

In 2022, the proposal would require:
16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuels;
15 billion gallons annually of conventional biofuels;
4 billion gallons of advanced biofuels; and
1 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel.
