WASHINGTON, DC – Michael McAdams, President of the Superior Biofuels Affiliation (ABFA), issued the next assertion in response to the U.S. Division of Power (DOE) releasing the 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23) and the U.S. Division of Agriculture (USDA) releasing the Plan to Allow the Bioeconomy in America: Constructing a Resilient Biomass Provide report.
“The Superior Biofuels Affiliation applauds the Biden Administration for launch of the Division of Power’s 2023 Billion-Ton Report and the Division of Agriculture’s Plan to Allow the Bioeconomy in America: Constructing a Resilient Biomass Provide reviews. These Companies have clearly signaled the potential the superior biofuels trade has to meaningfully decarbonize the U.S. transportation gas provide, and ABFA encourages Congress and the Administration to align federal coverage to appreciate this full potential.
“The BT23 report discovered that the U.S. may sustainably triple its biomass manufacturing to greater than 1 billion tons per yr, which might meet greater than 100% of the nation’s want for Sustainable Aviation Gasoline (SAF) and permit the aviation trade to be fully decarbonized. The USDA’s report outlines a plan to spice up biomass provide chain resiliency. ABFA has lengthy argued that the federal authorities has traditionally undervalued biofuel manufacturing capability, most just lately when figuring out the 2023 Renewable Gasoline Customary (RFS). Hopefully the findings of those reviews will persuade policymakers of the necessary function the low carbon gas trade can play in lowering carbon emissions.
“With emissions on the rise the biofuels trade is standing on the able to speed up reductions in international emissions instantly. As a drop-in gas, superior biofuels are already in use throughout present infrastructure. Solely with an all-of-the-above local weather technique can we make actual progress in preventing local weather change.
“These reviews are an necessary acknowledgement of the superior biofuels trade’s full potential. Nonetheless, it have to be adopted by swift motion and concrete coverage assist to achieve the administration’s bold local weather objectives.”

Concerning the Superior Biofuels Affiliation
Based in 2007, ABFA represents greater than 40 corporations from the U.S. and all over the world who’re stakeholders within the biofuels trade. ABFA represents all sustainable aviation gas (SAF) at present in manufacturing in the US, including to our membership’s worldwide annual manufacturing exceeding 5 billion gallons of renewable diesel, biodiesel, renewable gasoline, and renewable heating oil.
