 Sens. Klobuchar, Grassley Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Provide Certainty to Biofuel Producers U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) introduced bipartisan legislation to prohibit the EPA from reducing the minimum applicable volume of biofuels into transportation fuel once the RVO levels are finalized for any given year.

Fatty acids from soybean oil can be turned into an array of industrial products normally made from petroleum, including fuel, ink and paints. One appeal of plant-based products is that they recycle carbon found in the atmosphere. This makes plants a far more renewable resource than petroleum and other fossil fuels, which add carbon to the atmosphere as they're extracted from the earth and used. | Biogas | Waste Water of Cargo Ships is Now Made into Biogas  The Baltic Sea Action Group is bringing together operators in a new Ship/t Waste Action co-operation project, in which ships' toilet waste water is discharged into the port and biogas is produced from it.
