House bill introduced to cut cellulosic biofuel mandate to domestic production

In Washington, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner introduced H.R. 3228, legislation that requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to limit the volume of cellulosic biofuel to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply to what is commercially available until a comprehensive study from the National Academy of Sciences is completed. 

“The EPA sets unachievable standards for our nation’s refiners and the cost of the EPA’s fines are passed on to consumers at the pump.  This legislation will ensure any mandates moving forward are fair, attainable, and evidence-based,” he said.
