US biodiesel: What happens beyond 2012?

Source : biodieselmagazine.com

This past year, the biodiesel industry has been consumed by the implementation of RFS2 — and in recent months the extension of the $1 per gallon federal tax credit — and little has been said about what happens after 2012 regarding biomass-based diesel. If one looks at the schedule of volume requirements under RFS2, there is absolutely nothing slated beyond 2012. The 2009 volume (which obviously hasn’t been enforced yet because of the lack of a final EPA rule) is set at 500 million gallons. For 2010, 650 million gallons of biomass-based diesel is supposed to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. Then, in 2011, 800 million gallons is the volume requirement. Finally, the carve-out tops off in 2012 at 1 billion gallons. But there is no further specific mandate for biomass-based diesel beyond 2012.
