EPA Renewable Fuel Production Targets
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the 2011 percentage standards for the four fuels categories under the agency's Renewable Fuel Standard program (RFS2): cellulosic biofuel; biomass-based diesel; advanced biofuel; and renewable fuel.
The annual renewable fuel volume targets are to keep the industry on track to reach an overall level of 36 billion gallons in 2022. The total target is about 16.5 billion gallons for 2011 for the USA. The 2011 target is for almost 8.5% of US fuel to be renewable fuel. - GreenCarCongress
