With advanced biofuels refineries coming online around the country and many more in the planning phase, it will be important for landowners, biomass collection, harvest, storage and transportation interests, and biorefinery developers to know what regulatory steps are needed to qualify a new feedstock. As the lead Agency for implementing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated a number of renewable fuel pathways and determined that they meet the 50% lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction threshold for qualification as advanced biofuel. This webinar will look at EPA’s petition process for parties to request evaluation of additional fuel pathways, including fuels produced from new feedstocks, for eligibility to generate renewable identification numbers (RINs) to fulfill the volume requirements specified in the RFS program.

The audience will also learn about technologies being developed at ICM that will require new feedstock pathway approvals and will hear from Dr. Rivers as he provides his working experiences with the EPA on cellulosic biofuel feedstock pathway proposals. Dr. Rivers will also provide thoughts on issues that those seeking a new feedstock pathway should consider.
