Under the EISA (Energy Independence and Security Act) of 2007, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) program was expanded in several key ways:

• EISA expanded the RFS program to include diesel, in addition to gasoline;

• EISA increased the volume of renewable fuel required to be blended into transportation fuel from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022;

• EISA established new categories of renewable fuel, and set separate volume requirements for each one.

• EISA required EPA to apply lifecycle greenhouse gas performance threshold standards to ensure that each category of renewable fuel emits fewer greenhouse gases than the petroleum fuel it replaces.


RFS2 lays the foundation for achieving significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from the use of renewable fuels, for reducing imported petroleum, and encouraging the development and expansion of our nation's renewable fuels sector.

The advantages of biodiesel fuels are:

1. Biodiesel fuel is derived from renewable sources which reduces need for foreign oil.
   
   
2. Biodiesel has a low sulfur content, burns cleaner and has lower emissions as compared to conventional diesel fuel.
   
   
3. There are numerous tax incentives.

Biodiesel fuel requires special storage and handling measures that the principals of PMEC have many years of experience in designing and installing.
